You Know.... From The Fresh Prince?

So there I was at this party. I basically knew...... no-one. Thus, i talked to everyone... why not? I'd already been caught out tryin to steal a chair for a bet and failed at remembering names when i'd promised i would (made considerably worse when they remembered me).

It was around this time I met a guy called Nana (spelling unsure) he shook my hand in a more than needed to be shook-kinda way, so of course i upped things slightly.

'Nana, was it?' i enquired, partly out of curiosity, partly because my grandmother gets called the same name

'Yeah man' he replied

'Lets do the best handshake ever' i said enthusiastically. he looked at me to continue so i did.

'So you remember the Fresh Prince?' I asked. he just looked at me blankly

'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air?' another blank look 'You know.... with Will Smith?'

He finally clicked and remembered.... or at least pretended to to get the ball rolling so i taught him the following:

In the early season the two characters always greeted each other with their signature handshake (swinging mid-five, point-back/snap with both characters saying "Pssh!"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Jazzy_Jeff

to which i celebrated, passing on the coolest handshake ever.

The next day however i was a bit shocked. i was told i was asking black people if they knew Will Smith.... now I'm known to be a bit, well drunk when im drunk but thats too far for even me.... then it all came back to me. the conversation about me trying to make Nana (who happened to be black) if he remembered the fresh prince STARRING will smith was interpreted by people listening in as me being a drunken idiot!

note to self for future: teach the will smith and jazzy jeff handshake with caution, its powers are great but they may come with dire consequences!!
