I routinely sign my name with a smily face.

Big circle, dot, dot, curve for smile. Especially on those 'automated' sign-the-tablet machines. I've never had a vendor verify my signature after using one of those digital ones. Its as if the technology is secretly making sure my signature matches.

And I can count at least 5 times I gave my friend my credit card for a run to the liquor store. Never questioned him. Once. As an interesting aside, he wasn't 21 either.

"Security" of signatures is a huge farce, only mostly done for show so that the $5.00 / hr clerk doesn't get yelled at by his boss for not "checking."
