Viet Nam vets (and others), post your most memorable latrinalia here.
I'm doing an short story based on latrinalia, and the best I've ever seen was in Viet Nam and the War Eagle Supper Club in Auburn, Alabama. What is your best latrinalia? Help me out!

1. My favorite was in a bar in Berkeley, CA in 1975 - had a western motif
wallpaper with a longhorn steer. Someone had circled its left front hoof and written "I'm an old cow hand..."
For some reason this still strikes me as very funny, but then I strike some people that way myself.

5. a bar in Berkeley in 1998
Owned and run by a smoker so it was a "smoke 'em if you got 'em" joint. Old, ratty, divey, and quite wonderful.

In the Ladies' can, written on the top of the toilet seat cover dispenser:

7. Was it a bar called "The Berkeley Square?" I just remembered the name
when I read your post. I was there in the mid 1970s saw Jim Jones at Sproul Plaza...

8. Here I sit with a broken heart
Popped six pills and my truck won't start!

If your pills were worth a fuck
You'd get out and HAUL that truck!
