This is an old story that I'm retelling in my blog. I notarized an arsonist several times. Then, by complete coincidence two people on jury duty happened to call me. they were the jurors for the arsonist.

Obviously we notarize signatures, not people, but in common speech, some people take liberties on how they phrase things. Some people, "Do lunch". How can you do lunch?

This is an example of one of my biggest pet peeves ... improper use of the word "notary" and its derivatives.
I wish you would explain to me how you "notarized an arsonist" (or anybody, for that matter)? Did you stamp your seal on his forehead? You can't notarize a person, you can notarize a signature (most commonly) or is some cases, a document, but never a person or any animate object. So, you could have "notarized the signature of an arsonist several times." Or , "performed a notarization for an arsonist, several times."
Along the same lines, the word "notary" (abbreviated form of "notary public") is a noun and means, a public official who, depending on the state, has the power to acknowledge signatures, administer oaths and affirmations, take depositions and issue subpoenas in lawsuits. Notaries public are most commonly used to acknowledge signatures, especially on court papers such as affidavits. ('Lectric Law Library) So, you can't "do a notary", but you can "do a notarization" which is the act of notarizing.
