I don’t know why Wally thinks his sigs are the best.

…but I think he is jealous

case in point as posted by WallyM7:

Off the shelf meaning they’re not original.  
Well some of them are not original, but plenty of them are (original and) written by me.

Putz!

I have conducted a simple experiment: For five sig lines contributed by Mr Socko and five contributed by WallyM7, a simple altavista search was performed. The results:

Mr Socko: 5 hits out of 5  
Wally: 0 hits out of 5

Theory 1: Mr Socko is a widely published sig artist.

Theory 2: Wally puts a little more effort and sincerity into his work here.

I will let the people decide. 'Nuff said.

OrganicMatter -

If Wally is so great, how do you explain Sue Duhnym’s sig:“My kids brighten up our home. They never turn the lights off. -A Wallyism”  
I thought Milton Berle was dead.

But a warm welcome awaits you in the pit if you have the balls to wander over there and answer Coldfire. 😃
