What does your signature say about you, or, what do you want it to say. Mine says (in my head anyway) that I think life is too sad and serious to not laugh at it, I am a bitter optimist, and I have a small plush Darth Vader with bunny ears “proving” that even the most bad-assed villain of all time wants to be the Cadbury Easter Bunny ---

Damm cat, Mods, could the title please be changed to reflect that I am talking about SDMB signatures? (yes I reported using the triangle, and dam cat jumped on keyboard during the process) ---

I had to look mine up - I don’t remember changing it but I do remember some of the older ones I’ve used. It may be time to consider a new one, altho I almost never post it. ---

Good grief. I just changed my signature to what you have. I got it from a friend of mine, who’s not Polish and doesn’t read the SDMB. I’ve just retired (I’m a freelancer), and I was telling her about the saying I coined when I seemed to be more committed to getting a project done right and on time than my client: “You can’t care more than they do.” She told me about “Not my circus,” etc. I’ll change it to something else after this thread runs its course. As for what my signature “means,” it’s just something clever or interesting that I want to share. I change it often. ---

I usually have something humorous I wrote. Just the other day I wrote, “I know what it says on the label, but I think they have the space in the wrong place. It says Stool Softener, but it should be Stools Oftener.” (Oliver Faltz is my favorite pseudonym.) ---

Somebody said a while back that your sig should be shorter than your message. I try to comply with that. ---
