John Hargrave is at it again. Everyone should remember his classic Credit Card Prank on Zug. He tried signing fake names on his credit card receipt, and no one seemed to care. But that's nothing compared to The Credit Card Prank, Part 2. Can he draw obscene pictures instead of signing his credit card? Yes, it turns out. Is there any way of getting your signature checked? . . . Yes, it turns out. But you have to do an awful lot.
The last page had me laughing in stitches. Personally, I take pleasure in scoffing the utility of a signature but John takes it to another level. Ok, what really is the use of a signature? Maybe it could be used for forensic investigation in the event of a crime, but what self respecting crook is going to sign anything resembling a name on a stolen credit card? Instead we should require a finger print on every receipt just like some banks require for non-member transactions.
