Let me guess, your first name is Melissa, just about the loopiest first name I’ve ever seen. ---

I leave an Ace of Spades in the left hand of the dead body. ---

After high school, I did all my upper case letters in print style. Although I have 10 letters in my last name, I make some slapdash attempt at every letter. My brothers, on the other hand, are nearly illegible in their signatures. ---

Hmm… (pulls out piece of paper and a pen) I’m left handed (don’t know if that has any effect on it) and my signature is impossible to read. A capital “C”, an “L”, a “Y”, and a “T” in the first name (all with either very high or very low points from the middle line of the signature) lead to me signing in a very stretched out loopy method. The “A” is just a slight upward bump, the “O” is nonexistant. The “N” is barely a curve going up. At the end of the “N” there is clearly a curve up that faintly connects with the cross of the t, which goes all the way from the end of my name across the smushed together “T”, “Y”, the nonexistant “A” and the “L”, just barely touching the “C”. Huh, never really looked at my signature in detail… just a bunch of random jagged up and down scrawlings beginning with a “C” and ending with a bump that should be an “N”. I’m not even going near my last name, two "L"s and ending in a “Y”, and three letters that apparently no longer exist. yup… that was a really random post. ---

Mine is a loopy scibble that looks different every time, unintentionnally. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tell-me-about-your-signature/298176.md?page=1)
