“For a good time call…”

Ah, the phrase best known as bathroom stall graffiti. Crude insinuations about people’s character and professions of love are also common. You might sometimes find some poetry that could be either corny or clever.

Growing up I noticed disparaging graffiti at school or park bathroom or on the back of bus seats. As an adult I generally only tend to see it in barroom bathrooms and typically those of the less fancy establishments. My favorites are the warnings such as, “guess what I did to the toilet paper” or “I am watching you. There is a hole in the wall.” Those always crack me up when I am tipsy.

I work in an office tower and today noticed that the ever popular “for a good time call…” phrase was scrawled on the elevator padding at about 6 feet. So I wonder if a professional adult during the course of their workday decided it was necessary to give a recommendation for an enjoyable outing with one of their close friends. How very kind of them!

Another unusual example that stands out in my mind is a message that was on the wall of the ladies room at a popular pizza parlor for years. The parlor seems to be a family run business. It read, “Keith (the waiter) has a big [male member]”. I wonder if Keith’s mom or sister enjoyed reading that for years every time they tinkled at work? My husband went to school with Keith and said that it was rumored that he performed some pretty special services to his classmates for a Jackson. We always tip him well. After all it seems like Keith really knows a lot about a good time…
