I know I am out of order on the questions...
I hate the words "font" and "signage". I think these words should be stricken from daily usage because they are so misused and abused.
I have never hand lettered a font nor would it ever be possible to.
Signage sounds like some kind of draining disharge from your head. Using this word does not make you seem smart or any more in the know than a common moron.
Rant over...
Do you prefer a stick shift or automatic transmission in your vehicle?

I used to use "bogus" jobs on the scedule to leave us a day off or a day when we just didn't want to have a scheduled job. I would write a old friend's name and something like jet ski or motorcycle. Then I didn't have to "EXPLAIN" why I was taking that day off. (HOW DARE I!) One time I had a customer in pushing me to get in as soon as possible (this was when we still worked on Saturdays) and I had written "Don Young-jetski" on that particular day. This customer KNEW Don Young and asked when he got a jet ski! I had to fess up to what I did and take his truck on that Saturday! ^#$%#!@! NEVER LIE! It always catches up to you. What was the biggest lie you ever caught a customer in?

You're right about the checking in on Letterville Bruce. I check it when I first wake up in the morning, refresh it an infinite number of times during the day while I'm sitting here working and it's the last thing I turn off at night before I go to bed.
What is your favorite food thing to have for a special treat?

edited to put the right answer to the new question: Mission Brown!
Has a customer ever complimented you on your YP advert?

Nothing I suppose, don't use it that much. But have you ever heard of the color shaded spruce? People here want it as their background so much it makes me want to puke.

Reddish brown/russet/red oxide I like! Mission brown I don't! (reminds me of painting all the architraves in my parents' house in the 1970s- boringggg!)
No questions above to answer...so to Jill's question: 7 or 8 meets. Downunder we generally have only one meet a year.
Question: What's for lunch? (or dinner, up over?)

Thought of changing it to Jon's Signs. Only because I often get called Mr.Jon Sign. My bank even has check book, statements, and deposit books filed under B for Butterworth, J for Jon Signs and S for signs!

Yep, only it was months,not days, and when they called, we both felt really stupid.
Whats your favorite and most used font, hand lettered or computer cut?
