Penmenship Counts When Spray Painting Grafitti

Dear Miss Chatty:

My boyfriend has complained about my penmenship, stating that he can't read a word of what I write. He constantly makes fun of my handwriting to friends and relatives, calling it "doctor's scribble without the degree." Now when the time comes to sign the marraige license, will he contest the document if my signature is illegible?

Dear Scratcher:

Marraige license? What in hay seed heaven are you thinking of? Any man who belittles a supposed loved one in public deserves total isolation. If I were you, I'd stick to a word processor. They are legible and come with spell check, BUT as for your boyfriend, I'd learn to print in big square letters with a can of spray paint on a back alley wall. Begin with a giant capital "F", followed by a . . . well you can figure out the rest. As for the marraige license, if you sign it, do it in invisible ink, because you'll be invisible to him not long after the ceremony.
