Do you miss restroom graffiti?

With the thorough understand that cleaning up the messes people put on walls, there used to be interesting things written on the walls of stalls, especially in the restrooms of places where travelers stop along their way. While I was in San Francisco, I went to a particular restaurant a couple of extra times, just to see what was new, as I'd read some really good writing thre. Yes, people do get pretty raunchy a lot of the time, and nobody really cares who hearts whom, but the new materials that don't allow graffiti wiped out (pardon the pun) some interesting things...

I used to rather enjoy reading the stuff on the back of the doors in public toilets - but it hit home when my little daughter came out of a stall one day and innocently reeled off quite a foul rhyme she'd just read - and asked me what it meant! Some of the stuff is pretty clever, though - and it makes up for having to use a public convenience in the first place!

The sorts of things people write these days are definitely not for the eyes of the little ones. What a shame the good stuff has gone the way of the dinosaur!

I do remember reading some interesting things from time to time on Bathroom walls and such of people who had come thru there, etc. and have actually wished that some of these they could leave. I know one place that has a Chalkboard where they let people leave stuff on, and I know that they used to keep somehow some of the better ones left there somewhere for people to read at anytime if they wanted. I wonder if they are still in Business and still do this?

I'm one who usually just gets in and out of public restrooms. I just don't feel clean in there. If I'm picky it's about clean restrooms. Everyone has to have one thing they are picky about.

Oh, I didn't mean they should be dirty places, just canvases for well-written things to read. Clean is urgent, an we may as well get a bit of a giggle while we're there!
