    Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:

    The reason why we shake with our right hands isn't only because most of us are right-hand dominant. It's partly because shaking with our right was the signal to foes that we weren't armed. In some cultures, people wipe their tushes with their left hand - shaking with the right, in that case, is simply more hygienic.
