This man’s 5-year legal fight to use a cock and balls drawing as his signature
A Melbourne man faced stiff opposition after a five year battle with state and federal government agencies to legally use a cock and balls as his signature, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
Suspecting that no one at the Australian Electoral Commission would scrutinise the application to change his address, Jared Hyams scribbled a caricature of a penis in the box that asked for a signature.
When that was rejected, Hyams decided to officially adopt the penis-shaped signature as his own and set about applying for a passport, drivers’ licence and proof of age card.
Hyams has the cock and balls to sign his government-issued health care card, open a bank account, become a member of a library and apply for various student identity cards.
“It’s been an interesting journey,” Mr Hyams said. “But none of it is resolved. Everything is just left hanging.”
