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
