They are too busy texting and don’t carry markers any more. I worked at a university once and they had paper panels in the stalls that got changed when they got full.
Looks like Arlo is in a supermarket. I’ve never thought of them a great places for graffiti. Bars or old time service stations are an entirely different story.
Did you see that Arlo Guthrie is getting married? To his long-time girlfriend Marti. Why do I say this here? Someone told me that Arlo Guthrie and Janis Joplin were the inspiration of our two friends here!
There used to be a fair amount of graffiti in women’s rooms too. Some crude, some funny, some poetic. But the favorite was the artist’s name and her boyfriend’s with a heart around it. I always wondered if she went back to wipe it off when they broke up.
This makes me think to a number of years back when a restaurant in downtown Raleigh, NC (Finch’s for anyone in the area) was closing after many decades. They let people write messages on one of the walls and I saw one message near the ceiling in big letters that said “I met my wife here!” I was soooo tempted to get up on a chair and write down “Hey! I met your wife here too!”
As i observed while doing maintenance at an el-high school, the girls’ washrooms had much more graffiti and it was ‘WAY nastier that that in the boys’ loos.

Social Media, the new restroom wall art. I have never thought of it that way. Makes perfect sense I guess.

The number of UFO reports are also down as people are walking around outside with their heads down in their devices.

Bathroom graffiti was blatantly expressive and crude…….well, like social media I guess?

People who tweet from bathroom stalls, Make little balls of $#!. People who reply to these words of wit, Eat these balls of $#!.

Since everyone communicates by phone, no one has a pen handy to write on the wall.

I think we were all better off withOUT social media, Arlo. Paint can cover up the graffiti. What you post on those sites can never be “painted over.”

A man’s ambition is indeed small to write upon a bathroom wall

A lot fewer nuts holding signs on the street as well. Unless your at a Trump rally.

I don’t know why but I thought he was going to say that there is less graffiti in the men’s room than in the ladies room.
