US citizens are mocking the 'ridiculous' signature of Jack Lewis, who is about to become treasury secretary. Americans are dismayed that they might end up seeing the squiggle on each newly-printed banknote.
Jack Lew's signature, which doesn't resemble his name at all, has been described as childish, "Slinky-like", "insane" and reminiscent of "one of those Crazy straws" by American bloggers and commentators, The Telegraph reports on Thursday. Twitter users also actively joined the discussion.
Lew is expected to be named by Barack Obama as the new treasury secretary on Thursday. In the United States the treasury secretary’s signature appears on every banknote printed while holding the post.
