War
There are a few stickers on lampposts around town saying, "If war is the answer, it must be a very stupid question."

I like to add "What band recorded the 1970s hits 'Low Rider' and 'Why Can't We Be Friends?'" to the end of them.

"Why?"

Clean your van
EDIT: Well, the dirty wife graffiti has been posted a good ten times now.

However, I did once see:
"Official Village People Tour Bus".

While my band were on tour in Slovenia/ Croatia,
As we were playing squats and communes mainly, there was a lot of damn weird war torn political graffiti. See here-



and probably the most weird:

Wirral railways
My favourite was one I first noticed when I was a kid on the local trains, on the sign that read:

'Please Mind Your Head'

some wag had amended it to read:

'Fleas in Your Head'.

Also, not particularly witty, but on the bridge at Bromborough Rake station there was, in simple white letters:

'The Clash'

I think it's been removed now...

Seen from space
A few months ago there was all this hoo-ha about some kids that had used weedkiller to draw a massive schlong outside their school in Southampton, and the evidence could clearly be seen on google earth and local.live......

Well, it has to be the best graffiti ever to have been seen from space!!

The evidence!


Length? Looks to be about 8 foot!!

Poor David Jennings.
On a fence, in an alley way between school and town:-
"I want to sex you, David Jennings"

Not quite understanding the message here, I thought about it and can only assume that "sex" here is a verb meaning "to determine gender"

"I want to determine your gender, David Jennings"

So I'm thinking of poor David Jennings being hunted down by the author who wants to perform hideous experiments on him/her to establish the presence of a Y chromosome.
Or perhaps poor David Jennings had no visible genitalia?
I also have some sympathy for the author. It must be a terrible affliction to go through life with an insatiable curiosity about anothers gender.

I hope they both found some sort of peace.

PEAS.
I honestly can't remember where I saw this. I think it's on the M4 heading towards London, but my memory's fucking shoddy.

Anyway.

There's a rail bridge crossing the motorway, and written across it in fucking massive letters is the word "PEAS".

Someone loves PEAS that fucking much. It's a worrying thought.

London
At uni (Imperial) there was some impressive graffiti in the 3rd floor men's loos. My favourite was:

"The difference between taking a shit and getting fucked up the arse is merely vectoral"

Also, on the south side of Albert Bridge there's a stencil on the pedestrian walkway saying "Do Not Write Over This Graffiti". Succinct, anyway.

european film
walking through spain a few years ago, a friend an i came across a piece of graffiti that we couldn't explain. bearing in mind it was painted on the side of an abandoned building perhaps 15 miles from anywhere makes it even more inexplicable. the phrase?

"Film Is Dead"

i don't know if it's even funny, or meant to be, but it haunts my dreams.

side-alley of Harvard Square in Boston
Probably a 'V For Vendetta" fan rather than a Guy Fawkes celebrant. Wrote "remember remember the 5th of November" in foot-high letters across a building at perfect reading height.

Only problem? He forgot the "b" in the second "remember," so he squeezed it in afterwards. Now it looks like a comedy poster rather than an incitement to revolution. Or whatever.

near my flat
On the side of a house near me there is "WALL" in 2 foot letters.
Also on the side of a portacabin there was "Gays are gay" and "I LOVE CHICKEN"
The tag "RAD" symbolising Radford on a phone exchange, which had "FUCK" put in front of it by others, then added below "Why? Is she any good?"
And a final one sprayed in 6 foot letters on an advertising hoarding

Work Feud
At work, the Analytical Services Department and Product Quality department hated each other and were always feuding, nicking equipment off each other, grassing each other up etc etc.
Analytical Services used to have one of these boards with letters that you can stick into a board a bit like lego, on the entrance door to their lab. A nawty person from PQ was known to have removed a vital letter so that it read "Anal tical Services"
Which is where I now work :-)

outside the high court in Edinburgh
Don't know if it was part of a plea-bargaining session, but I saw this chalked onto a stone column outside the High Court on the High Street in Edinburgh and thought you might like it. Well, it was a picture saying Steph gives head for weed. But I can't seem to upload it. Mmmm, not as funny when told through the medium of words. Ah well, I'll smile wryly for us all shall I.....

RE books
in RE on lesson we had these textbooks that we totally demolished. in my fave was: a picture of somne monk with a pentogram behind his head, evil eyes drawn on, a spiky tail, trident and a speech bubble saying "i smell children",

a picture of a funeral with the vicar and 3 bald men running for some bizzare reason but drawn on was
a kkk behind the bald men and in front of them a black man in basketball attire, the vicar was saying "help me bnp the niggar has my basketball".

written under a large "GOD" was "votes bnp"

but by far the best and most intricate was a drawn behind someone with a telescope quoting "i cant see jesus so he cant be real" a drawing of jesus getting crucified saying "im behind u fucktard!!!"

i training to be an RE teacher just so i can go to that school and reasd that book one more time.

Meanwhile...
Back during the general election, one of those patronising conservative billboards was placed next to a big picture of yoda, advertising the new star wars film. Somebody had crawled up it to add a speech bubble:
"What you are thinking, we already know. Vote Jedi."

Fave graffiti
Years ago down at my local corner shop, the words "STOP RAPE" had been painted in large red letters. They stayed there for about two years. Then someone painted "SAY YES" underneath, and the lot was gone in a week.
But my personal favourite was "STOP THE FACSIST REGIME", to which someone had added "AND MISGUIDED EDUCATION FUNDS?"

Birmingham Uni, a few years ago
In a lecture room in the ugly concrete building, neatly scratched in the desk and filled in with blue ink:
"I find I can do bigger poos at home."
As it happens, I agree.

Also, in the gents in an Irish bar in Venice, angrily scrawled in black felt-tip:
"Rock is Dead!"
However, added just below in the same handwriting, only smaller and much less angry:
"Or is coming to Death."
I like to think of the artist agonising for days about his original statement, and coming back to correct it after careful thought...

Hillarious to stoned teenagers
We'd had a couple of the magic brownies before a local panto in a village hall that we'd gone to watch some friends in. It made the show (which was actually pretty funny anyway) hillarious, but also made the sign when we left the hall afterwards give us fits of laughter that lasted hours, from "Please leave this hall how you found it"

"Please leave this hall where you found it"
