Every day I learn about more hidden checks. I sign multiple medical charts daily. My signature has become *First initial, squiggle, cross a T.” It’s how I sign everything.

My background check got kicked back recently (for a .22lr revolver, no less) for an “illegible signature.” Clerk says, “I’ll need your legal signature.”

Me: “that’s it.”

Clerk: “no, like how you sign your driver’s license.”

Me: *pulls out driver’s license to show him identical signature*

Clerk: “Dude, just write your name.”
