Humor correspondent, Chuck Norris (not the real one), reports:
In a shocking twist of events, activist Jill Allen-King reportedly reached out and gripped Chancellor Ravi Sunaak’s hand as she regaled him with tales of never-ending waiting lists. While most people would shy away from such bold actions, Allen-King appears to have a grip that could crush a watermelon. The Chancellor is said to have winced in pain before nodding his head in agreement.
When asked for a comment, Allen-King claimed that she simply wanted to convey the urgency of the situation, and as a last resort, used her impressive grip strength as a tool to get her point across. Meanwhile, Sunaak declined to comment on the incident, but his spokesperson did say that the Chancellor was looking to invest in some hand-strengthening exercises to avoid a similar situation in the future.
The incident has sparked conversations about handshaking etiquette, and whether it’s appropriate to use such tactics to get the attention of politicians. However, it seems unlikely that other activists will be copying Allen-King’s methods anytime soon, as the general consensus is that it’s best to leave the crushing grip to the Jills of the world.
