Someone had a signature that was a quote from another doper about how something was akin to “being ordained an Anglican Bishop by the Food and Drug Administration” that I thought was funny as hell, but I can’t find it any more. ---

> [@kambuckta](#): > > **Dante** used to have a brilliant one, but I did a search and all his old posts now come with the _new_ sig line. ☹ One quirk in the software is that, when you change your sig line, the new one is retrofitted to all your old posts. Sometimes, the new sig isn’t a good fit in your old post. ---

Unless I’m missing something, it should be _there’ll_, not _they’ll_. I’m sure it was the source material that was faulty. 😉 ---

I haven’t seen a sig in a really long time. I’m going to click mine on for this post. I haven’t ever changed it, and I’m sure you all think it’s boring, but when I first heard it I laughed for almost twenty minutes. ---

Reading **CandidGamera** ’s sig line was the thing that finally made me pony up the cash and join as a paying member. If there was a chance to be impregnated by such a genius I was not one to let it pass by. I like **GingerOfTheNorth** ’s too. 🙂 ---

**CalMeacham** and **Bosda** always hae unique, clever, changing sig lines. My personal favorite was an obscure pun by one of the two of these guys (I forget who), something to the effect of: Klattu loved to watch television. His favorite shows were _Baretta_ reruns and Nicktoons such as _Jimmy Neutron_. He often informed his friend Gort of this fact. In case you don’t get it: Gort, Klattu Baretta Nicktoon A play on the famous line from _The Day The Earth Stood Still_: Gort, Klattu barata nikto ---

Someone’s sig has a link to [this online article](http://www.slushfactory.com/columns/content/EpEyykukyZloMBeEdd.php), accompanied by this quote: “The last five minutes of St. Elsewhere is the only television show, ever. Everything else is a daydream.” I’ve been a big _St. E_ fan for years, so that sig caught my eye (and I subsequently bookmarked the link). 🙂 ---

I haven’t ever changed it, and I’m sure you all think it’s boring, but when I first heard it I laughed for almost twenty minutes. Have you heard this joke? Voltaire walks into a bar, and the bartender asks him if he’d like a beer. Voltaire says, “I think not,” and disappears.
