When someone (especially a Texan) gives you a firm handshake and looks you straight in the eye it must mean they are completely on the level and as honest as the day is long, right? I mean a rogue or a crook would never think of doing that and you can always tell them because of their furtive looks and their handshakes are so limp.
Jerry came by and we talked for a while. He is a genuine guy, gives a strong hand shake, looks you right in the eye...
