Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 27, 2018

and the 5×7 picture frame didn’t come with an electronic-corded pen?

There’s two reasons I hate those things. My signature usually looks like someone who needs a caretaker. And then there’s the screen which who knows how many people have run their fingers over. I’m sure that somebody somewhere has just had their fingers someplace unhygienic.

Guessing he doesn’t have any of those “chip” credit cards in his wallet either… likely still using those slips of paper with pictures of former presidents on them…

I never realized our skills developed w/ the “Etch-A-Sketch” toy as children would come in handy as adults…

ohhh I HEAR THAT!!!

My one complaint: That’s Earl Houndstooth, not Andy Bear…

I have to regularly sign using one of those tablets. Usually takes three or more tries before my signature is accepted.

and I always sign “Not my real Name”

Signatures are so lame. There is almost zero security to them and no one checks them anyway.

My sig is an illegible squiggle no matter how I sign.

Oh, yes, UPS is another one I forgot. Though oftentimes I don’t have to sign for packages. As a patient the ambulance is another – though there, when a person is sick or hurt and probably shaky, it probably makes sense not to make them try to use a pen, and nobody knows the difference anyhow.

A few years ago up on Fort Lewis Army base near Tacoma, WA they had just gotten one of those signature pads but the stylus was missing. The lady at the register told me, “Just use your finger!” So I flipped off the pad and the whole shop went nuts with laughing. I love getting older! :>)

think about that here in 2020
