In a public restroom once I was confronted with a handwritten sign above the toilet: "To flush, please wiggle handel."
Underneath which advice I scrawled, "If I do, will it wiggle bach?"
...more?

wiggle bachLoved this Anna! In Welsh 'bach' means little - the colloquial expression for what the Ozzies call a dunny would be Ty Bach (literally, little house). I often imagine the confused discussion of Welsh musicologists when discussing Bach's family, given the local tendency to patronymics followed by diminutives

I've got to mention my all-time favourite graffiti, even if you've heard it before a million times (YART par excellence?) Sighted as I went through the subway leading to what was to be my place of 'higher' education:
To be is to do - Socrates
To do is to be - Sartre
Do be do be do - Sinatra
Still makes me giggle.

Yep, Shona, that's my all-time favorite too!!
Except I saw the first attributed to Camus. Which makes it all more contemporary, if you will (of course, your version has the alliterative feature the one I saw lacks).

I saw the first attributed to CamusTo be honest, Auntie ( ooooh almost Halloween..), when I originally saw the graffiti the first quote was attributed to Voltaire! My research tells me that Socrates said it first and it was YARTed by Voltaire. But I haven't checked with tsuwm yet.
