Oh, HO!  You haven't seen *my* handwriting then, have you?  My
parents and grandparents insist on typewritten letters.  I never
have to worry about people reading my journal; they simply can't!

No, Lance, there are plenty of women with awful handwriting, but
then, the most interesting people have the most interesting (and
least regular) handwriting, don't they?
