Nice on Lester!

I saw one similar

Someone on the back of a dunny door had written in a big black marker "AUSTRALIA SUX"

just underneath was written " New Zealand nill"

One of the more famous ones, probably 'borrowed' went something like...

"What would you do if Jesus came to Hawthorn tommorow?"


underneath


"Move Hudson to CHF"

I'll always remember this one on the school dunny door.......

some come here to sit & think
some come here to SH1T & stink,
But I come here to scratch my balls &
Write graffiti on the walls.


Not shakespear, but I never forgot it.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can & the wisdom to know the difference


Cheesy, I know, and I don't believe in God, but the sentiment is there.

If you love something, set it free.

If it comes back, it's yours.

If it doesn't,

HUNT IT DOWN

KILL IT
