H is for Handwriting Analysis, one of many novelties available at the State Fair of Texas for your entertainment. These booths consist of a giant 1970's style computer that allegedly "reveals your personality" and can tell couples how compatible they are. They come complete with a dot matrix printout of your analysis, so you know they are legit.
Word to the wise: If you need one of these carnies and his computer to tell you how compatible you and your mate are, you probably don't need to register for fine china anytime soon.
