Gradffiti has been around for thousands of years: some scurrilous, some deserved and some to
make us think...but most with the advantage of being entertaining.
How about the following (reportedly noted in a "ladies" in Kent)...
"I wish I were what I was when I wished I were what I am."
OR - one for us poets (in a university...where else?!):
"TS ELIOT is an anagram of toilets."
Good one, Anthony. And, contrary to my norm, I did pick it up at once. Sometimes I'm slow, and sometimes I leave everybody else in the dust. No telling....
I'm a great fan of graffiti M.C. - not the sort of "tag" graffiti, which only advertises the graffitist's recent presence, but the wit, humour and cleverness which endures in the mind long after reading. My favourite, from some 30-odd years ago, again at uni, was one which took me a while to fathom out - but was worth the fathoming - "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana." Priceless.
Regards,
A.E.

J.C. - Thanks. A great example of "entertaining".
Here's a riposte from West London:
"I drink therefore I am.
I'm drunk therefore I was."
A.E. Probably my own favourite is the sign -
"Harwich for the Continent" - to which someone
added -
"Frinton for the incontinent."
The wit and often downright cleverness, ensures
this age-old tradition survives. I'll sign off
with one for the class warriors found on WOL:
"The upper crust are just a lot of crumbs sticking together."
