That's odd, mine doesn't have the ()'s in it. I also added a bit of text on the
side, which makes it quite useful to email back to spammers (note the C&S 
reference sneaked in there :> ):

At first, I thought "Why is that FL there? It looks kinda dumb..." and was
about to replace it w/ =='s, when I realized- "Oh, that must be the signature!"
BTW- does anyone know how to spell [oh-vi-zheez]? It's on the MP sketch, but on
the Final Ripoff version, not the original (i.e. it's not the same in the book,
either...) -it says that after "shallots" at the end... <shrug>
L8er...
