The last time I stopped at the late night donut shop in Schomberg, Ontario, the washroom walls were full of various obscene graffiti with comments about lewd sexual acts and insults directed at "fags", etc...the usual, in other words.

Well, I stopped there again last night and discovered that they had recently repainted the walls.

Since they did the only new graffiti to show up was these 2 statements...

"Bush is a fucking idiot!"

and...

"Fuck You, Cheney!"

They looked to have been written by 2 different people to me.

Seems like the US administration is growing less popular by the day here in Ontario... ;-)

I am surprised no one thought to mention Condoleeza Rice anywhere.

We are accepting refugees from the USA, but please don't ALL move up here at once, okay?

It's difficult to make grafitti stick to these new polymers they make bathroom stalls with. People still try, but those who work until they finally make a mark never seem to in the end have anything to say.

All we have on the bathroom walls in my office is an official sign, put there by the building managers. It informs us, amongst other things that we should:

"Avoid unnecessary flushing by using the bins provided".

My favourite is... at about eye level above a urinal, "Look up." Then, higher, "Even further." Then, higher, "Look way up." And, fairly high, "You are pissing on your shoes."

The contractors measured wrong when they tore out and rebuilt the bathroom on the floor of the library where I work. The largest stall is palacial, but they didn't move the sink counter over to compensate for the ADA measurements so the other two stalls are now incredibly cramped. On top of it, the MEN who installed the paperholder and trash box OBVIOUSLY didn't try sitting on the pot to see if they were putting those appliances in a good place. They weren't.

There's bound to be some disgruntled grafitti just because of those mistakes.

Saw one that read:

Someone came along, put a scratch mark through 'grils' and wrote girls.

Someone else came along and wrote, "But what about us grils?"

Difference between eating pizza and eating the waitress is that with the pizza you can eat the crust.

(Way) back when I was at Sheridan College, the custodial staff took great pains to scrape down and repaint the bathroom cubicle doors (the Board of Regents was due for an inspection/visit). This was taken as both an insult and a challenge by the creative types in the photography depsrtment. No sooner had the fresh paint dried than a very formal-looking notice was inked upon the door:

"The management wishes to apologize for the actions of an overly zealous former employee in eradicating the creative efforts of the student body. Please start over."

There was a pub on Jarvis St, Toronto (higher up than the red-light district I hasten to add) that had the inside of the Ladies painted with blackboard paint; I assume the Gents was similarly decorated. Presumably it was a matter of, "If you can't beat 'em ... " Worked. Great graffiti. The tunnel between the Humanities Building and the book store at University of Waterloo also boasted the Cream of Wit. Should 'a' writ some of 'em down ...

From many years ago: Written in tiny letters just at the bottom of the door so that you had to assume the straining position to read it:
'Beware of limbo dancers!'

On a workshop toilet door:
'If your arse is wrongly made,
so that when you shit, it comes out sprayed,
don't worry that you're not like us.
Just clean it up, you dirty cuss.'
