Do you know the Official Atari Handshake?

I heard that the "handshake" was a little different for Atari employees back in the early 1980s:

 

1. Clasp hands as in a regular handshake.

 

2. Lift the thumb of your boss.

 

3. Place your mouth on his thumb.

 

4. Gently move your head up and down.

 

5. Try not to cry by remembering that Atari gives you free recreational drugs.

 

:D

And free whores with a herpes bonus can't forget that.

Hahaha what?! Why?.. just why? I'm not complaining though lol

 

My guess is that since it claims the source is from the female vice president then during one of their company stoner parties(average work day) she probably made it up as a joke because she thought it would look funny for a bunch of dudes to shake hands like that and it just stayed "official" because everyone was too stoned to get the joke.

I can totally accept that as truth. Lol

I know this is an old thread, but I was just going through the awesome content on the Atari 50th Anniversary Edition and came across the "Official" Atari Handshake in the High's and Lows section. I vaguely remembered this, I would get the magazine as a kid and loved it. My memories at that time, was that this was an AWESOME handshake, although admittedly, I had no clue about masturbation at that time, I pretty much forgot about it, and have never used it.

 

That said. Has anyone ever actually done this "Official" handshake? Like at a gaming convention? Does Atari still use this handshake, like at their corporate meetings? Now that Alberts on the inside, he probably could answer this.
