Handwriting expert says A-Rod writes like a girl, has large ego

[joeybee12]

In a world where everything that's said, written or otherwise expressed publicly is overanalyzed to the point where you wish we were stuck with stone-age technology, you knew it was only a matter of time before Alex Rodriguez's handwritten apology to baseball fans was taken to a handwriting expert.

Daniel Barbarisi of the Wall Street Journal called upon Paula Sassi, a certified master graphologist for the past 35 years, to examine A-Rod's cursive handwriting less than 24 hours after it was released, and her findings were, well, interesting, for the lack of a better term.

“He writes like a girl,” Sassi said. “Feminine writing is more rounded, with a lot of connections, which he has throughout this. And a right slant. Masculine writing tends to be more angled, straight up and down, maybe printed.”
First of all, this is real life. Just feel like we need to drive that point home.

I can see them being able to ascertain forgeries and things like that, but psychoanalysis from his hadnwriting. Come on! Might as well feel the bumps on his head.
