Graffiti anyone?
Michael Husman
How about starting a new thread based on the graffiti you have seen in
your travels? Here are a few to get things started:
God created the world in six days, but it took him four years to graduated
from Purdue.
Purdue-Library
(over the toilet paper dispenser)
Nixon tapes-seize one
or...
Another fine abrasive by 3m
or...
Do not rotate over 3,600 rpm.
etc.
ohio state-various locals
Some graffiti is best when it is embelished by others:
Free soviet jews!
-below-
With each $25.00 purchase
or...
It's better to get pissed off than to get pissed on.
-below-
Have you ever been pissed on without being pissed off?
or...
Beam me up scottie!
-below-
I canna do it, Cap'n. You're surrounded by steamy vapors that are causin'
a disengagement of the transmitter ray.

any ideas Spock?
-below-
Try another stall, and this time don't fart.
.......
You get the idea. I'm sure that the collective creativity and diversity of
the net can come up with graffiti (or singularly graffito) better than that
which I have provided. I look forward to your postings.

While visiting the Towson State University student union early this
summer to catch "A Change of Pace, with Bob and Jeff", (Quite funny
these two) I caught a new one in the men's room:
There was a grid of about 12 boxes inked on one wall. Over the grid
was the phrase "Booger Contest". Each box was dutifully filled with
great big huge boogers! Really gross! (no, I was not a contributor)
J. Peter Neergaard
The one I got a real kick out of was:
TRUST IN JESUS
or some other generic religous quote, which was painted on a bridge somewhere.
The first thing that came to mind was that someone, who was obviously a
criminal type (after all they were vandilizing the bridge with their
graffiti) wanted me to trust and respect their judgement about their
religion. And yet, they were willing to openly admit (by the fact they
used graffiti to display their message) that they were willing to
flagrently break the law.
Maybe this should go under the oxymoron thread?

Anyway, a couple of fun ones:

Here's one that I like to add to those paper toilet seat cover packages (and
there is a vast array of euphemisms for those devices):
All the boxes say at the top "First Pull Up, Then Pull Down", and I have
the irresistable urge to add "Then pull up, then you shake it all about,
do the hokey-pokey and you turn yourself around...."
I also saw one bathroom wall where, at eye level, a small arrow pointed forward
and towards the ground. As you followed it, the arrows continued pointing until
you got to a very fine print message, upside down, at the very bottom of the
stall: "You're pissing in your beard."

there once existed some of the finest graffiti ever to have
been written. Two quickies.
"The more you cultivate people the more you turn up clods."
In the top right corner of a cubicle, in very small letters,
so small, in fact, that you had to scramble up onto the bowl
and then stand on the water reservoir, squinting upwards,
were the words: "What the hell are you looking up here for?"

Yup! That's just about everywhere, especially the first two lines (the third
varies somewhat); usually these are followed by
4. Ask attendent for towel or 4. Wipe hands on pants
or the like.... I think some guys got real drunk about five years ago and
went cross-country disfiguring all the hand-driers at McDonald's and gas

The talk about bathrooms and drunks reminded me of something pretty funny that
happened 2 months ago. I was at home in Bombay, and they have these bathroom
attendents in the 5 star hotels' bathrooms who hand you towels after you wash
your hands or whatever.
Being drunk I was taking a piss in the stalls(where I can drop my pants and take
a comfortable piss :-) Being a bit too drunk I guess my aiming wasn't as good
and so I had to use some toilet paper to wipe my hands(I know, I know, but these
things happen ok!) After pulling up my pants, while tucking my shirt back into
my pants the toilet paper hanging from the roll somehow got tucked in too, and I
walked out of the stall draging a line of toilet paper behind me. The other
drunks waiting for me almost died laughing when they saw me. But the bathroom
attendant not knowing whether to laugh or not offered me a towel. Having figured
out what was going on, with a typical drunk smile on my face I pulled the toilet
paper out of my pants and said, "No thank you, I brought my own!"
You just had to be there I guess, plus your're not drunk!
Any more drunk stories?

My roommate's friends last year would run a "bit," wherein whenever
somebody went the bathroom more than once in an evening, the following
exchange would result:
Comedian: Have you got T.B. or something?
Straight Man (who had just returned from the bathroom): What, tuberculosis?
Comedian: No -- Tiny Bladder!
(hilarity ensues)
So I cut out a headline from the paper, above an article about
tuberculosis research, and taped it to the privy. The headline read:
"Progress Against TB."
(more hilarity ensues)

Forward-thinking Calif. legislators have long required the presence of
signs proclaiming "Wash hands before returning to work".
In a semi-local retaurant the phrase after it ("Unwashed hands spread
disease") was edited to "Wash hands and spread disease". There was more,
but I canna remember it.
Speaking of signs, the San Jose Library commissioned a sign proclaiming
"Welcome!" in ~42 languages (this is ~two years ago). The sign was painted
and hung outside the library, all 30-50 feet of it, and a gardener came
in to the library and wanted to talk to someone about it, but wouldn't say
what the prob was. (He was Filipino(?)). Seems the Tagalog version did not
say "Welcome!". Instead, it proclaimed "Circumcise!", and he was too
embarassed to say this in front of the (predominantly) female library staff.
They found out that four or five of the greetings were incorrect...

Maybe 10 years ago the B&O railroad decided to repaint their RR bridge here
in Newark, DE. It had been covered with *many* messages by the local
residents. Shortly after the new dull green paint job someone with a sense
of humor decided it needed to be "decorated." He/She took white paint and,
in big letters, wrote "LIONEL" (you know, the company that makes the toy
trains) on the bridge. The locals thought it was clever and no additional
"decoration" was done. It even got a write-up in the Philadelphia paper
(Delaware section). Unfortunately for evenone, B&O was not amused. They
came back and repainted the bridge again. And this time it was quickly
covered with the standard "Jim loves Joan" messages. Sigh!
