obscene signature (Score 2, Interesting)

Two years ago, I began signing documents with a simple graphic that my friends call "the booby lady", a line drawing of a naked (and extremely busty) female form, nipples included. Since then, I've co-signed a bank loan, signed a lease, gotten a new driver's license, and signed innumerable credit card statements and other documents. I've only had about a dozen experiences over these past two years when the signature-requester even noticed that my signature is odd (nevermind that I always sign documents sideways), and only a handful of these make any kind of verbal acknowledgement.

My new signature has only been challenged twice, and both were employers: the first (which was my employer during the signature change) apparently got a complaint from a female employee in human resources, noticed that my signature at hire was different from my current one, and told me to "print my name instead of using my signature" if I needed to sign anything for them in the future. The second (my current employer) simply wanted some official documentation that this was my legal signature before they hired me, so I went over to the DMV and got a new driver's license with nothing more than a double-take from the employee that watched me sign the license.

So not only can you sign anything you like any way you like, as very few people (less than 5%) will even bother to check that it matches, but also, as far as I can tell, *no one* will prevent you from legally changing your signature to something completely nonverbal and nonsensical.
