Signature, Smignature.
When we closed on our house, there was a ton of papers to sign. I commented to the notary..
quick aside: when I was little I used to think that the phrase "Notary Public" was actually "Noted Republic" I had a hard time understanding why you had to sign Important Papers in front of some guy who apparently had declared that his house was an independant country.
So I commented to the notary "My name is too long, and I'm tired of writing it, can I just switch to an X?"
She didn't think it was funny.
Note: Don't make jokes about your signature when signing a deed and a mortgage. You only get nervous laughter.
This guy decided to just see how far he can change his signature before people noticed.
I think my favorite is when he drew a little stick figure as his signature.
