Please Stop Painting Over the Graffiti in the Bathroom!

Nothing really upsets me more than seeing a well worn public restroom with a fresh coat of paint on the doors of the toilet stalls. Many of these stalls have been neglected for decades and have seen all manner of graffiti, which makes for an interesting bathroom experience. I don’t think anyone likes using public restrooms but the copious amounts of graffiti makes the experience at least tolerable for me. The graffiti in bathrooms show every manner of ignorance and perversion that this fine country has to offer. Racists, intellectuals, losers, and winners alike all congregate in public restrooms and many choose to express their views while emptying their bowels. These old restrooms often serve as a time capsule of stupidity throughout the ages and for that they are important. I often forget what I read in the New York Times but I always remember a bathroom scribbling that makes me laugh. Several months ago I came across the best graffiti I have ever seen. Above a urinal in a restroom some knuckle head had penned several lines of fractional arithmetic on the wall. I really hope I can one day meet the person who had to figure out a fraction while he peed!
