You're so silly. Have you ever been in a meeting where a bunch of macho tough guys casually start tossing their business cards onto a table in a passive aggressive manner? It's kind of funny...instead of merely handing the card out with a smile and a "Nice to meet you", they TOSS it onto a table, making YOU pick up THEIR card. Very alpha male.
