Please educate one with no common sense...

Hi all!

As some of you know, I love my watches. However, I have broken my wrist several times, and it literally pains me to write. I also have the penmanship of a chimpanzee. Therefore I have never had a great interest in fine writing instruments. However, times have changed, and my new job entails that I sign contracts in front of clients. I have always relied on my trusty $0.20 bic round stic, but dont feel that at this level that this is acceptable. Please enlighten me on pens and the one that suits me.

I am left handed, and my hand drags right through the ink I have just put down. An absolute must is that the pen doesnt smear. Amazingly enough, the bics are the only ones I know that dont do this. A fountain pen is absolutely out of the question on this premise alone. Please show me some options as I am clueless and too embarrassed to walk into the local MB store to ask. FWIW I have bought several MB pens, but only to give them as gifts.

Please help a fellow WIS out. Thanks!
