I thought there was a law or something that says you don't even have to have a signature if the total is less than $50. That's why most fast food drive throughs and gas stations don't have to get a signature.

Smaointe: I did search for the old writing thread. But there is a broken image link party going on in there. I figured with the influx of new forumites, in say 2 years, a new thread might work better? If not, let she be bombarded and sunk at sea.

And Gowerly was right, it is *the* postulates of quantum mechanics. Not math, yet. I tend to write any kind of formulas and equations well between the lines. I tend to write two or three lines per demarkating line on the paper.

I also saw both the first and second parts of the credit card signature shenanigans. It was a hoot sometimes but not entirely surprising.

And no one writes in cursive except girls.

I included two samples for your viewing pleasure.

An entry from my journal, dated 6-2-03 9:56 am.

Also, my meeting notes from one of our Managers Meetings.

I don't really know what it was about either.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who sat down and read a page of Jez's diary. But uh, as far as the meeting goes....heey macarena? Jez...that makes me a sad panda...

I shall take a photo of a page of my scrawled block capitals sometime tomorrow, and post it as soon as I figure out how to get images off my digicam.

Well, I remember that much of the meeting, if we were late after lunch we had to do the macarena. Guess who was late. :cry:

Well, the only thing I have right now is my cursive:

This was my signature at one point, being my signature, and now it's just hanging around my photobucket account, chatting with LEGO Brick Black Mage.

My cursive is bound to be worse by now, though, since I haven't done it in a while. Print is terrible, and I like it like that. It's like code!

I asked my bank about that after Taco Bell and others started not requiring signatures. The teller said that as far as she knew, they were just taking the risk for sake of customer convenience. They don't have to fish around for pens, and the line moves quicker. They sometimes eat it because they have no proof that there was any attempt to proove legitimacy, but the losses are considered the cost of convenience.
If I show up at your door, chances are you did something to bring me there.

Jezebel, why does that clock have titties on its head?

Jez's writing is either so random or her penmanship bad enough that I have a lot of trouble following that one page.

My'casual' writing is pretty horrible, sometimes I have to pause and try to figure out what a word is, but that doesn't really matter to me when it's private stuff. My regular writing is a bit more neat, but still fairly sloppy.

I never noticed those looking like boobs, they are supposed to be bells. :oops:

Well, it's not like it's a suprise. We already all know what you've got on your mind.
