Man has five-year long legal fight to use a drawing of genitals as his signature

The Poke – A Melbourne man faced stiff opposition after a five year battle with state and federal government agencies to legally use a c*ck and b*lls as his signature, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Suspecting that no one at the Australian Electoral Commission would scrutinise the application to change his address, Jared Hyams scribbled a caricature of a penis in the box that asked for a signature.

When that was rejected, Hyams decided to officially adopt the penis-shaped signature as his own and set about applying for a passport, drivers’ licence and proof of age card.

Hyams has the c*ck and b*lls to sign his government-issued health care card, open a bank account, become a member of a library and apply for various student identity cards.

“It’s been an interesting journey,” Mr Hyams said. “But none of it is resolved. Everything is just left hanging.”

  1. “Just left hanging”…he should be shuned for the pun! Really though,the only real problem is if his signature is consistent over time. Many of you will remember from old movies the scene where someone who is illiterate is told to make their mark and the character would make an x. What you may not be aware of is that it was not uncommon for the signer to make a type of pictograph..a drawing of a bird with a tree or maybe cabin with smoke coming out of a chimney.. something unique that would serve as a mnemonic device. That said,come on man,pick a better battle!
