I used to have a quote about myself from another Doper, but I changed it a while back. I don’t think I’ve posted with the new one yet … until now. 😉 ---

I did have an amusing bit from an IM as my sig, but I seem to have deleted it. So I’ll fall back on my ancient classic sig–the one that once earned me a boyfriend (though that wasn’t my intention). ---

The first line of my sig has always been there. The second line of my old sig was a quote from Bill Maher saying that Iraq isn’t Bush’s Vietnam because Bush had an exit strategy from Vietnam. Since that quote was overly ripe, I went ahead and pulled one from the Pit that amused me. Here it is: ---

I’ve changed mine several times. My favorite previous one was: “The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.” - Qui-Gon Jinn I’ve since gone to something much more simple, as you can see: ---

I mean to use mine more, but I always forget to click the “Show your signature” box. My other one is: “Socks don’t talk. They just sit in the dryer and mind their own business.” According to my dad, this is something I told a family friend when I was 3. I have no memory of it and deny everything. ---

Yeah, if you preview your post, and don’t check the “show your signature” box again, apparently nothing happens. ---
