Curse you Dowly, and your computer-fu black belt!

The answers are George W. Bush and Lyndon B. Johnson.

Also, screw Dowly.

A signature is not necessarily always readable. But it should give the impression that nevertheless it represents the writer's ability to base on letters and his skill to write. That is why the signatures of Johnson or Bush do not compare to three crosses or a spiral cable. If it does not, the question if the signing person actually could even write - or read - only is logical.

5 year old kids play-act as if they already could write, too, and produce some random scribblings, saying that now they "signed" it or "wrote" it down. That means nothing.

I would ask the same question if somebody signs a document by making three dots in a line, or painting a square or a triangle.

Jacob Joseph "Jack" Lew attended Carleton College and received his B.A. from Harvard College and his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center.

From February 1993 to 1994, Lew served as Special Assistant to the President under President Clinton.

On January 9, 2012, President Obama announced that Lew would replace William M. Daley as White House Chief of Staff.

I'd bet a weeks pay that he can read and write.

But you could not tell by reading the signature.
