Part V A final look at my normal signature, which looks like it was drawn by an epileptic ferret:  Having tried every wacky signature I could think up, next I went to the ZUG audience for suggestions. Many folks said they wrote "PLEASE CHECK ID" on the back of their credit cards, but what if I tried writing that on the credit card receipt itself?  See, it's the line at the end that fooled the supermarket clerk into thinking it was a signature. You put the line at the end, you can forge anything. ZUG reader Jellytot said: I signed a credit card receipt "Mickey Mouse" in Disneyland once because I was fed up with not having the signature checked. I never paid for the item. I still don't know what happened, it just never showed up on my statement. I signed this bookstore purchase "Porky Pig," but I did have to pay for it. So maybe that trick only works in Disneyland.  Finally, ZUG reader Chouggy suggested: Try signing the slip as: I stole this card.  I'm thinking of changing my name to "I Stole This Card." It's got a nice ring to it, and boy, wouldn't my mom be confused when I sent her a Mother's Day card? So there you have it. Nobody cares how you sign your credit card receipts, so go nuts, everybody. Just don't sign my name. When MasterCard finally reads this, I'm going to be in enough trouble as it is.
