The missing thumbprint
Be sure to note in your journal that you're using the left thumbprint of the mother, since the other notary will have cut off her right thumb in his efforts to stop you from signing her later, thus protecting his fee.
I know this happens, because I have heard of a similar situtation. The signer in question had no hands and no feet, and not even a body. He had been kidnapped by a notary years ago who wouldn't release him until he had signed all of the paperwork. Fearing for his life, the signer complied and signed everything. The SA then cut of the signer's hands and left him in a locked room, just so he couldn't go home and sign papers with another notary.
Several years passed and the signer learned how to do everything with his feet. He managed to disassemble the bed with his feet and break off one of the springs, which he used to pick the lock on the door. Upon gaining his freedom, he rushed home to meet with the other notary (who was still waiting). But, as he neared his front door, the first SA (who had been laying in wait all these years) leaped out from the bushes and cut off the signer's feet so that he couldn't make it to the house. He then cut off the signer's entire body so that he wouldn't have access to his wallet and his ID. He grabbed the body and the feet and rushed off down the street, laughing hysterically and screaming, "Feets, don't fail me now!" (He was later found to be quite demented. His commission was revoked and he had no other choice other than going to work for the NNA as a hotline operator.)
The signer, now feetless, handless and bodyless, rolled to the house and pounded on the door with his head. The notary inside answered and brought him. Upon seeing him, he realized that he knew the signer personally, so he didn't need any ID. Elated that he was now going to earn his $50 fee, he stuck a pen in the signer's mouth and they went to town signing papers.
After a couple of hours, they were done. The signer signed the journal and after the notary put a print of the signer's nose in the journal, he closed the book and said, "What an ordeal. This calls for a drink," to which the signer readily agreed.
The notary poured the signer a stiff drink and poured it down the signer's mouth. In an instant, a new body popped out of the signer's neck, and then BAM!, arms and legs complete with hands and feet popped out as well.
The signer was estatic and said, "This calls for another drink!"
The notary poured another stiff one which the signer downed in a single glup, at which point he fell to the floor stone cold dead.
The notary shook his head sadly and said, "He should have quit when he was a head."

Re: The missing thumbprint
Sounds like that 35 & 40 dollar notray in my area. I had a signing saturday afternoon, I waited 45 min for the borrower to show, and then left. When I was finally able to contact him, all he would say was "sorry I got TIED UP"
