Mine is pretty self explanatory. I've seen some that are not so obvious?
So How Did You Come Up With Your Signature and What Does It Mean?

In at least one of the Sherlock Holmes stories, Holmes sent Watson a wire, telling him, "Meet me at such-and-such", and to "take precautions".
Watson explained that that meant he was to bring his "old army revolver" along.
I always "take precautions".

Where I live but misspelled. There's no post office here.
Latin for "be prepared for all things". About 15 years ago, when I was
starting as an instructor, a lady called me and thanked me for telling the
class to always be ready because they don't know where or when the
threat will come. Apparantly a guy had crashed into her front door and
she had her "little .44" right there by her lounger and she was able to
quickly neutralize the threat. I took the phrase at that time motivated
by that incident.

I think that people are confusing their signature and their "handle".
My "handle" is my initials. Same on all forums, GB, eBay etc.

Two "rights" and "responsibilities" I take seriously.
In the late 80s I had the good fortune to go on a temporary duty assignment to Bergen, Norway, to work with their Air Force on a project. The Norwegian wing commander had our team to his home for an ice-breaker with our counterparts. One of the guys told me it's Norwegian law that if you don't vote in two consecutive elections you loose your right to vote [and whine].
Barbara and I serve as election judges at our tiny precinct of 56 registered voters. We usually enjoy a 100% turnout on election day. Some say it's "the" social event not to be missed: munchies--especially the cookies, soft drinks, and all. No unauthorized whiners here.

OK just to be sure I'm not confusing my handle and signature, when I
"retired" from hunting I gave all my long guns away. When I told my
wife she said you did what? Are you crazy? Thus my handle "Crazy Phil".
My signature is In Omnia Paratus. "Be prepared for all things

I'm in tech. I've had to use my signature in number of "deep and thoughtful product strategy meetings" alongside a well placed face-palm.
It's a bit Zen without the religious meditation.
Like "Never hide the stash while stoned".
If it's taken literally that's OK too....

I once made up a story about what mine means but I have to come clean. Mine means I didn't know how to spell Comrade.

I picked mine up from Uncle Red Green. Seemed like an appropriate thing for a married man to keep in mind: when all else fails play dead.
