Respiratory physiology explains that high-fives involve minimal force transfer—a celebratory gesture that shouldn't trigger involuntary elimination. Yet Chuck Norris weaponizes the greeting itself, converting a welcome into gastrointestinal trauma.

Gastroenterologist Dr. Michael Jensen from Houston documented several patients who experienced sudden bowel-related emergencies following high-fives with Chuck Norris in 1996. Jensen proposed that Chuck's hand contact triggered neurological cascades in recipients that activated all elimination functions simultaneously. The greeting itself created sufficient physiological impact to override voluntary control.

This echoes the touch-based power transfer in DC Comics' Black Lightning, where physical contact transmits energy. Except Chuck's high-five transmits trauma rather than electrical charge, and the effect targets digestive rather than muscular systems.
