'''Garfield:''' You're not a human. And that's not a hand. That's a hairy paw. }}

 

* Yuri does this to a (male) black-ops agent in ''Cagebird''. He means to kiss the guy's hand to get a rise out of him. When that doesn't work, he proceeds to ''lick it.''

* In one of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novels, the Doctor does this as an oddly casual greeting:

* In Louise May Alcott's ''Little Woman'', Laurie goes to kiss Amy's hand. She, feeling homesick, would rather stick to a handshake, since kissing her hand is European.

* In [[Anne McCaffrey]]'s first ''Acorna'' book, Baron Manjari makes a point of actually kissing Acorna's hand at her social debut instead of miming it as expected. {{spoiler|He's just dosed her with a contact poison applied to his lips (he wipes them clean immediately afterward and [[Carrying the Antidote|takes the antidote]], claiming it's his daily medication.) Too bad he didn't know about Acorna's ability to neutralize toxins.}}

'''The buffet-girl:''' Thank you, kind Sir! ''(she courtesies)'' Good-night. ''(she goes out)'' }}

* Done by Oscar to Charity in ''[[Sweet Charity]]'', followed by a [[Title Drop]]. Charity asks her friends if it counts as a pass; they seem to doubt it.
