I also keep a stock of PGP/GPG fingerprint cards and that them out along
with my business card to anyone who does GPG and for key signing.  Just
a straight forward OpenOffice printout onto common business card stock
(white, colored, styled, what ever suits your taste).

I much prefer the business card format PGP fingerprint cards to the
strips of paper nonsense.  When I get one exchanging signatures (either
card or paper strip), I note on the back the date verified.  When I get
back to where I can actually sign, then, I note on the back the date I
signed the key and drop it into a card file as done.

On top of that, my business card also has several of my GPG key
fingerprints on the back (not all business will let you do that,
obviously, but IBM is happy to - it just means a double sided card).
Haven't had business cards reprinted since generating my 674627FF key,
though, so the stock business card is out of date and I have to hand out
both, current.  :-P  Where I carry one, I carry the other so I'm always
prepared to exchange key fingerprints.
