Looking at John Hancock's signature on the Declaration of Independance, is there any way for adults to improve them penmanship or is it only learned when you're a kid?

If you have any "i's" in your name, draw a smiley face or a heart instead of a dot.

Waitresses do it all the time on the receipt, and I think it's a big improvement.

do like chicks do, and write your name over and over, on countless sheets of paper, while daydreaming about stealing some poor bastard's freedom, and ruining his life....

I need to work on mine that's for sure........

Every time I sign a check it looks like I gave a 3 year old a crayon.....

My signature looks like a doctor signed it. That's OK. I doubt that many people can duplicate it...and isn't that the concept?

Man, no kidding. Your signature is your "legal mark"--it needs to be distinctive and difficult to copy--not "pretty." Next you're going to ask if mauve goes better with burgundy than taupe, aren't you?

my signature is a couple squiggles and a corrisponding number of dots over the squiggle representing the name with any I's in it.

Have a custom Japanese "Chop" made for yourself, either your name in Japanese, or a word that has great meaing in your life, and use the chop with your signature ($100-250 depending on size and what it's made of). I also use a Unibal 207 pen, which is just like a regular pen, but indellible, and cannot be erased with special chemicals...
