Okay, I admit it.
I posted this article mainly because I wanted to use the title.
Still, it’s a sign of the times.

FLINT, Michigan -- Swine flu is putting a damper on graduation traditions.
Graduates walking the stage this weekend at Mott Community College will be receiving their diplomas -- but no handshakes.
So congratulations but please keep your hands to yourself.
The college is joining others around the country that are taking extra precautions against spreading germs on a normally touchy-feely kind of day.
Still squeamish about mingling with the large crowds? MCC is also providing free hand sanitizing liquids before and during the Saturday commencement ceremony.

Hopefully Mel Brooks won’t mind this homage.
