Summary: 

My full name is Robert Curtis Jackson II.  My signature is a barely-
recognizable scrawl that looks something like Robt Curt Jack___ #
where '#' is a little squiggle.  It never varies by much, but is
all mine.

My question is, in some places (legal documents, company vouchers)
my signature has been refused -- they tell me I have to sign my name
exactly as it appears on form X.  Well, I \am/ signing my name as I
have always signed it -- I have oodles of examples in my wallet to
prove it.  Should I (and can I legally) tell these people to go jump;
that by damn they already \have/ my real signature?  Or is there some
legal basis for this?

Thanks,
--
