I know I'm just screaming at clouds again, but it's pathetic that the autographs of two illiterates, Joe Jackson and Geronimo, are so much more beautiful than any current athlete or celebrity. Hockey player Eddie Shack was also illiterate but had a gorgeous autograph.

Fun fact for those not in the know: Geronimo actually printed his autograph much like the Japanese in that he did it vertically! He would start with the G, but tilted 90 degrees to the right of how we would form it and worked his way downward.
