The fact that a signature is, to date, a legally binding form of identification is baffling to me to be honest. More and more is digital these days, but still.

(my "signature" is just a squiggle based on my initials and I can't reproduce it consistently)

I was telling my lawyer a couple of weeks ago that I wasn't even sure I could do it consistently any longer and actually practiced a bit before going to the office. She basically said "Do the best you can" :-)
It's not legally binding if you didn't sign it, but that won't stop someone from trying to claim that you did.
