The Angel of Death!A few years ago on the 'Wilson's Parking' building on Parramatta road in Camperdown, there was a huge spraypainted SHOUT:
'THE ANGEL OF DEATH!'
About 20 meters long.
But not quite.
Actually it said:
'the angle of death'.
And it stayed like that for several years, until someone amended it to read:
'THE ANGLE OF DEATH! = 180 degrees'.
That always made me laff. :-)

Sausages!Three of my favourite examples of graffito:
1 - Early nineties; Dunkirk area of Nottingham. On a newly-built pelican crossing, simple instructions were posted in the form of a sign saying
"Press button and wait for green man".
Child's handwriting changed this to say
"Press button and wait for green bogey".
2 - Seeing the rude word "sex" written on walls should also get a mention.
3 - In Nottingham pub The Old Angel:
The menu used to describe one of their meals as:
"Sausage, mashed potato and gravy all served up in a giant Yorkshire".
Nice touch was the addition, in biro, of the word "terrier" to the end.
I love graffiti, me. I might post more as I remember them.

One of the funniestexamples of Graffiti that I have ever seen was on the Leeds-Liverpool canal by a bridge that was having work done to it. The sign, which was placed to warn motorists, had originally read:
"DANGER CANAL BRIDGE," to which some comic genius had edited to read:
"DANGER ANAL RIDGE."
At the time this was so funny to me that I almost fell off my bike with laughter.

From the gents door of speakeasy (Nottingham)'Welcome to Jimmy Savilles love nest'
and the ultimate anti-joke:
'Me and my wife went to the bahamas.
Jamaica?
No. Trinidad'
That 'joke' make me laugh like a bastard and I don't even know *why* it's so funny
