unfortunate name and a post-it note.
At my high school we had a teacher called Alisdair Rouse. So on the little plasticky name board in his window, it said A Rouse.

Strangely enough, it took five years for some bright spark (yay me!) to grafitto a little "d" (on a post-it, I was a bit of a nerd) at the end of it, and thereby point out to all the other high school students the massive japery that had been lurking un-exploited all this time!

Highlander
Remember the film Highlander?

It appears some folk north of the border do as warning signs featuring a large silhouette stag have had "Feel the..." added on.

Cricket and Independence...
These are both in Rugby, Warwickshire.

On the railway bridge overlooking the Shell Garage (now Texaco), 3ft White letters - BOYCOTT SHELL, during the rip off of pensioners or summat. Then changed to BOYCOTT'S HELL when he was 'allegedly' walloping his wife.

On the canal (?) bridge near Crick just off the A45 is 'HOME RULE FOR CRICK' which has (according to olds, been there since the 70's). The locals keep repainting it!

Reports he's seen a builders van round London owned by "Singh & Son" with the following caption:

Class.

kendo saggy knickers
I have to ask, when you say "wanking in girls knickers" did you mean you were wearing them or wanking into a pile of them? Or onto the gusset of an individual pair?

On reflection, I didn't have to ask. Sorry...

Near my mum's house
in England there's a road called Bants Lane. The bottom of the B is always being painted out to make it "Pants Lane". Always makes me chuckle.
Keeping on the underwear theme....
as a hormone ravaged schoolboy I used to take the bus to school every day. On the back of one of the seats was scrawled:
"Boys, try wanking in girl's knickers. It's great!"

So I did. And it was.

true story

this afternoon at the supermarket as I was going through the checkout, the people in front of me were two lesbians. I put my groceries on the conveyer belt thing, and they put one of those dividers between my purchases and theirs. I really wanted to say "oh, you're seperatists." but I didn't, so I'm saying it to you now.

Tireless artists
On the Northern line in Sydney, the retaining walls (and pilons, and posts, and just about every thing you can see) are always covered with crap graffiti: tags, tags, and more tags. Sometimes there's art....but over the top there's always more indecipherable tags, tags, tags. CityRail regularly do a counter-spray paint run, painting over everything with rough blobs of mission brown. It lasts a couple of days, and then there's more tags. A few months later, the walls (pilons/posts/plants/etc) are again wiped clean with brown. The tags creep back, only to be wiped again, etc.

Once, on a freshly re-surfaced bridge wall was the hastily scrawled (with the same penmanship as the tags) "THIS SHIT IS A FULL TIME JOB".

generic......
as I sat in the toilet, just farting, I started to play tennis with a limbo dancer,
who offered me ecstacy, but then, I was hit by a dirty white van, near a bus stop, causing me to call a number 'for sex' that I saw in a phone box, under a bridge that asked me 'why do I do this every day?'I then proceeded to correct the grammar and composition, in a humourous way, and went home, drunkenly, to analdogpoosin lane.

Not actually graffiti but on topic all the same

It was made all the funnier by John Humphrys (I think) completely unable to stop giggling on the Today programme whilst trying to read the report on this.

Another fave...
Seen on a bathroom wall in a bar:

"Better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

I have seen that attributed to Mark Twain and Abraham Lincoln. In any case, I doubt that anyone from that area was witty enough to come up with it on their own...

Not seen it yet but,
there used to be an anti-drugs advertising campaign in manchester which featured a picture of leah betts on it and said - "leah betts died after taking just one ecstasy tablet"

to which someone wrote underneath in giant letters:

Was making my way home
after a particularly drunken night out, most of which was spent arguing with my then girlfriend. I seem to remember a lot of nights were spent drunk with her and nearly all of them ended in verbal warfare. Whilst heading home, pondering the meaning of all this, I crossed over the inner ring road, it was late hence no traffic. Someone had scrawled on the subway wall beneath me the most profound graffiti I’ve ever seen, it said:
‘have I lost my head or found my heart?’
I concurred with the former sentiment, broke up with her the next day and have been a shed load happier ever since…

I should hope not!
In a stairwell near the art department at college, there was a 'NO SMOKING' sign.
Some bright spark had changed the fag into a cock, and amended the sign to say "NO SMOKING COCK".

Anywhere else is fine
In the spirit of "Big Dave's Gusset" there's also a rather charming bit of graffiti on the back of a building in Peckham you can see from the train: "Do Not Shit Here", with an arrow pointing to a particular bit of back yard. I'd get a photo but it's covered up by wheelie bins ATM.
