singular joys

the fact that high-fives can only be satisfyingly performed with two people seems compelling evidence that god wants us to celebrate in tandem. (if you prefer to steer clear of implicit intentionality when discussing abstract gods, then… suffice it to say that the blind hand of biology has exhibited evolutionary preference for shared five-slapping.)

relatedly, if you could execute a solo high-five which was as convincingly ceremonial as a duet, how often would you engage in the act of singles fiving?

finally, what is the most satisfying celebratory activity which can be engaged in alone? a whoop? a reaching jump? eating ice-cream?
