The signature requirement I hate the most is at my doctor. Every time you get any kind of medical treatment you have to sign a tablet twice: once for permission to treat and once for financial responsiblility. That stylus is nothing but a single point vector for disease. They should know better.
You don’t need to make a neat or even legible signature on a tablet or anything else for that matter. Legally, anything that you intend to be a signature is your signature. Just “make your mark” and it is binding.
I think the world has so many problems because it is a very complicated place filled with many competing interests. “Greedy” and “stupid” are just highly subjective evalualtions that have only one universally accepted meaning: “not me”. That sort of finger pointing has never solved anything.
I have the solution for your Karo corn syrup weakness. Pour two or three tablespoons of Grandma’s Oringinal Unsulfered Molasses over two tablespoons of chilled butter. Mash with the tines of a fork until well mixed but not blended. Small bits of butter should be visible. Spread ther mixture on your muffin … or a buscuit … or a pancake … or white bread … or the palm of your hand or just lick it off the plate! … Sorry. Got a little carried away there. Enjoy.
That’s the polite way of putting it.
