Public bathroom graffiti intrigues me. I’m not the only one. The graffiti in women’s restrooms are typically better, I hear, but I don’t get to see much of it.

I’m not sure why people feel compelled to scrawl on bathroom walls. There are lots of theories, and more than one post-graduate has attempted to study the phenomenon. In a public restroom at a gas station, the owners had hung a sheet of butcher paper titled, “Write Here!” The sheet of paper was covered in scrawling, but the bathroom walls were clean. A novel idea.

Political graffiti seems to be common these days. Somewhere in the plains, I saw a bit of graffiti that seemed to say it all.

“John Cary
is a
mother******”

Someone had inserted “smart” just before “mother”.

I fear for what’s left of our county.
