pretty much all signatures are awful. Worst are the enormous images.
FYI, that disclaimer is automatically added to any outbound emails at many firms as is the environmental notice.

Please think of the whales before you print this email"
I started laughing hysterically when I saw this but then I remembered that you're absolutely correct and my mood swung to sadness and despair for humanity's future...
The email here'in does not constitute as any legal or financial advice. We believe the information contained herein is correct to our best ability but...etc
I was in contact with an admin office at a small regional university, and saw this gem...
"I am a trained LGBTI Ally supporting diversity in sexuality, sex and gender at..."
Damn, now that's some next level shit
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little str8 bOi? I'll have you know I was bottom for the hung college cocks of my entire graduation class and I’m a trained LGBTI Ally supporting diversity in sexuality, sex and gender, and I have over 300 confirmed Craigslist creampies. I am trained in CBT & sounding and I'm the top fisting sub in the entire Greenwich Village. You are nothing to me but just another breeder. I will suck you the fuck off with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the internet? Think again, breeder. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of alpha tops across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better PrEPare for the storm of faggot. The storm that rips up the pathetic little thing you call your boipussy. You're fucking split, kid. I can fuck anywhere, anytime and can stimulate your prostate in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in setting up Grindr parties, but I have access to the entire chem arsenal of Vauxhall & Oval and I will use it to its full extent to fuck your miserable cock off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could've known what homoerotic sextribution your little "homophobic" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would've held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn breeder. I will shit your own cum all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking bisexual, kiddo.
I laughed more than I should. The guy taking dump next to my stall must've got weirded out. I've seen many variations of this but man, this is hilarious.
After googling many terms, you seem very well versed in the intricacies of gay erotica and sadomasochism. (Thank god I used an incognito window, otherwise my AdSense results would be irrevocably scarred) I presume this is from personal experience? :-D
Add “storm of faggot” to random username generator
Rope.
What’d does the “I” stand for?
“Lean six sigma black belt.”
What is with that???? I've been seeing more of that around lately. I did some research and its some supply chain management training. Apparently its self-administered and self-tested as well?
Does it even mean anything
My Dad is an engineer, and in Engineering Management it's actually a pretty significant certification that can set you a apart. I think there's three levels (yellow, green, and black) and in order to become a black belt you have to work on a project with a black belt with documentation stating what you did and how you used the principles, etc. Or something to that effect.
The legal disclaimers that don't offer any protection are kind of pointless and annoying but most people are required to by their firm so it isn't their fault.
Said this on the LinkedIn thread but ", MBA" after signature.
For some reason every employee at my company adds their education/certifications after their name in the email signature. And I'm not just talking about analysts or VP's - freaking Senior MD's and group heads too. Some people have three or four abbreviations listed after their name in the email signature. It's BIZZARE.
I'm OK with major ones like the CFA Charter in signatures. I also appreciate people who put "MBA" in their signature, especially if it's from a third rate school, because then I know ahead of time that I'm dealing with a self-important d***wad.
The most amazingly obnoxious signature I ever saw was the internal wholesaler who spent an afternoon getting the CETF, which is a joke of a certification that requires a 50 question online test with infinite re-takes, then put it in his email signature.
Most people don't even see the disclaimers when they send it out because it's baked into the e-mail server or w/e tech jargon.
That said, anything besides your name, company, title, and contact info is simply unacceptable.
I used to always see random boutique banks with these obscure award banners from firms no one has ever heard of
"2015 Deal of the Year by The Banker's Digest Magazine"
I've seen this too ahaha.
A disclaimer that is lengthy enough to be an email in of itself. Along with a picture of the broker posing at a steakhouse.

Yes, that’s now a thing.
I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.
No shit. So you're not a squirrel?
A friend of mine (intern) had the name/Logo of his bank so large in his sig it could have been an entire email itself.
Literally this thing was the equivalent of 15 - 20 lines of text. It was literally the most autistic thing I've ever seen in banking outside of this website.
Couldn't find it in my inbox but some consultant had the following in his signature:
John Smith

That's a pretty BSD
