UNDERSTAND THAT IT ORIGINATED IN BABYLON!
THEREFORE SHOULD TRUE CHRISTIAN(TM) SHAKE HANDS
No males should make a fist and touch knuckles with other males. Females should curtsey.

Quite frankly I would prefer not to.
Judging by the number of articles warning against internet porn and playing with your wedding tackle, there must be one hell of a lot of witlesses choking the Monkey.
Do you want to hold such a hand when you don't know if they washed it first?

Lots of things originated in Babylon. That fact alone should not make it wrong for a Witness to partake in.
Wikipedia suggests that...:
It is believed that handshaking originated during the Roman Empire, when people would grasp eachother [sic] at the elbow rather than the hand as a gesture of trust, showing that they are not carrying any weapons beneath their sleeves.

Although that statement also has no source cited.
The Babylonians also at many types of foods, worked, made and spent money. Should JWs also not do those things?

Only when you know where their hands have been.
