    And I love that they find funny ways in which we’ve always been human, like the penis graffiti in Pompeii.

      Ancient graffiti is literally some of the funniest shit in all of recorded history.

      Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!

      Amplicatus, I know that Icarus is buggering you. Salvius wrote this.

      Lesbianus, you defecate and you write, ‘Hello, everyone!’

      Theophilus, don’t perform oral sex on girls against the city wall like a dog

      Aufidius was here. Goodbye

      If anyone sits here, let him read this first of all: if anyone wants a screw, he should look for Attice; she costs 4 sestertii.

      We have pissed in our beds. Host, I admit that we shouldn’t have done this. If you ask: Why? There was no potty

      Chie, I hope your haemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they ever have before

      O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed you have not already collapsed in rui

      No matter when or where, we’re all the same dumb fucks deep down writing on the walls of the toilets.

        You missed my personal favorite: a viking burial mound on whose walls, some seven or eight feet up, is written, “Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up.”

        Viking men averaged out at 5’7" (173cm), so he must have been lifted by someone.

          Ancient graffiti is glorious.

          Almost as endearing as ancient pet mausoleums.
