Do you read the Names on the Public RestRoom Walls?

I always read bathroom walls. I especially like reading the bathroom walls in libraries at nice colleges. Even highly praised universities have bathroom walls that look like any gas station which makes me laugh.

Most public restrooms I'd been to in the 1970s of South East Arkansas had a plethora of four letter words crudely scribbled on every surface. But there was very little substantive expression of any beliefs, goals, or thought, other than an primal urge to rut.
The bathrooms at Henderson State University offered more in the way of communicative effort. I even noticed specialization, following the purpose of the hall in which each facility was located. The Library and English buildings were more likely to offer variations of well know literary works. The Fine Arts building offered a more visual presentation. One of the most memorable bulletins I saw was in the Physical Sciences building.
Conduction my business one morning, I noticed a chemical equation that seemed to be making some point about the properties of an effluent routinely produced at this location. Not being a chemistry major, the expression and conclusions were over my head and I paid little attention to the posting.
Several days later I was again using this particular stall and noticed that one of the original poster's colleagues had taken exception to his findings and offer another chemical equation explaining the error. As this was a regular stop for me, I was able to follow the ensuing war of theory and hypothesis. While I understood little of the symbols and methodology, the increasing size and angularity of the letters, symbols, and expressions gave ample testament to the growing emotions in each successive communication.
By the end, the high minded theme devolved into crude four letter words that would have been right at home in any gas-station restroom.

One I always found crudely amusing was a note that said; LOOK DOWN HERE! Then there would be a loooong arrow pointing down to the bottom of the stall wall. Then when you did "look down here" the note would tell you: YOU'RE NOW ****ING AT A 45 DEG. ANGLE.

In one of the restrooms at the U. of Illinois, I noted someone had made a heavy philosophical statement about at arm's length above the occupant's head. He obviously expected a response, which he received....each entry was dated and often initialed. The entire wall was nearly covered with entries that dated back 3-4 years. Some were even repeats, the same writer taking exception as much as a year later to something said following his last statement. A few years later, my wife and I visited her cousin in summer classes...working on her Phd. While there, out of curiosity more than need I visited the same restroom to see what had transpired. Lo and behold, most of it was still there, now dating back at least 5 years or more. Upon exiting the stall, I realized the rest of the stalls had been painted over except that one. I guess the maintenance people were curious as where all these profound statements would lead. 

I wonder what's on the walls at Harvard!?!

The best one I saw was in the airport restroom in the Memphis airport.  It said...my girlfriend said to kiss her where it smells bad, so I brought her here.
