In a restaurant-- We aim to please. You aim too, please.
In a dorm bathroom-- Love the Earth. Fuck a tree.
Written below an offer of a free homosexual act, someone wrote **Silly rabbit, dicks are for chicks. **
Decades ago, a restroom used by both Harley and Japanese bike riders had a giant rising sun drawn over the urinals. Below it, the artist wrote “REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR!”
Under that, someone (hey, not me!) wrote “they won?”
Two days later, the wall was covered in grafitti and the management painted over the mess.
Who is Wanda Fuca and why do they say such horrible things about her?
(you might have be a geologist and/or live in the Pacific Northwest)
“If you sprinkle when yout tinkle
please be neat and wipe the seat”
And a variant of Max’s:
“Here I sit, brokenhearted
tried to shit but only farted”
Unfortunately, there isn’t much graffiti in bathrooms in Taiwan.
Wonder why?
In the bathroom at the Kopper King Tavern: “Go for broke! Marry a miner!”
This timeworn but maybe boomers can relate.
Written on the wall in my neighborhood pub about 20 years ago was:
Who the hell is Rula Lenska?
Today’s generation could interpret that as “Who the hell is Billy May?”
See there was this omnipresent pitchwoman-------
“Once there was a happy land, full of laughing trees”
Women’s toilet, The Bar, Canberra College of Advanced Education, 1983.
Odd, that it sticks in my mind almost 20 years later.
On a condom machine:
“Worst chewing gum I ever had”
On re-reading the thread I see that False_God has posted something almost identical, so I go back to lurk mode …
A legendary scrawl in the gents of the Wig & Pen, a famous pub/club for legal types on the Strand, London (opposite the Royal Courts of Justice) read as follows :
“Help! After lunch I’m being tried by 12 people too stupid to get out of jury service.”
“Beat me, fuck me, make me write bad cheques!”
In a university toilet:
“Flush twice, it’s a long way to the kitchen”
In one of the female toilets in my university, located underneath a heated debate about refugees, poverty and patriarchy:
“I know a boy who uses this loo”
Over a urinal in a bus station: Stand up close, the next guy may be barefoot.
Over the toilet in a hobby shop: Stand closer or reel out more hose.
In tiny writing in the lower front corner of a stall:
If you are reading this, you’re shitting at a 45-degree angle.

Them Red Elvises wouldn’t be quoting Tom Waits, would they? (Telephone Call from Istanbul, 1987.)
[sub]No, I don’t have any graffiti to share. But credit where credit is due, when it comes to my favorite artist.[/sub]
In a bathroom in Norman Oklahoma,
Please flush, Nobel needs water.
(Nobel is a nearby town and a HS rival)
written under that
‘Fuck you, we got plenty!’
In the art school building in my college was a very detailed drawing on the wall of a stall of the view looking down from your seat. (no genitals) You see the feet, legs, underwear, ect. What was great though was the commentary people left all around it. Notes on how the point of view was screwed up and other art critiques.
There was a women’s bathroom at Wesleyan U (in CT) where someone had pencilled in “My boyfriend wants to have anal sex, but I’m unsure. What do I do?” And then written underneath was tons and tons of advice written by other women. Fascinating.
I remember another one. I’ve seen it a number of times, always with different philosophers. Still makes me laugh.
