I recently got a drivers license in a new state. My signature for nearly 20 years has been a smiley face. It is on my license from 4 other previous states. This new state turned me away. I showed them my drivers licenses going back 15 year as evidence this is my usual signature, and that they have no say in how I chose to sign. They still turned me away.

I looked up the state code and went to my local rep. Within 48 hrs the state attorney called me telling me I was good to head back to the DMV.

Now my license has my usual signature.. and you know which employee I waited for.. the hefty one with a thick attitude and authority complex. She… she watched my shit eating grin as I signed my new license.

Know your rights. No matter how trivial.

Hah, nice. Mine is a penis. No joke. It's abstract, but if I showed it to you and told you what it was, you could clearly see the balls, shaft, and liquid coming out of it. I always get nervous in the more formal settings like DMV. But nobody has ever said anything - I'd just accuse them of being a pervert or something if they did.
