Reminds me of that scene in The Blues Brothers when they go up to Elwood's tiny room and there's a busy double L right outside the window.
Jake: How often does the train go by?
Elwood: So often you won't even notice it.

I spent a couple of weeks in a motel when moving house and my unit was only a few yards from the main trunk railway. The Auckland to Wellington express went by every night. Horn blowing and shaking my bedroom! The first night I woke up in horror at having been woken up so cruelly and knowing it would be the same every night. The second night I woke up but drifted back to sleep easily. The third night and all the following nights, I didn't even hear it unless I was already awake. It's amazing what you can get used to!

Would you rather be picked up like a baby and stared at by a red faced man, or watch my hilariously disabled father plummet down a steep staircase on his broken-down wheelchair; his high-pitched, campy voice shrieking in terror, his idiot head thrashing from side to side as he meets his doom?

While I dig the graffiti scrawl what I don't get is why they use this internal language that only they can understand as some kind of inside joke.
Seems like they should use a language all of us can understand if they want to get the word out to more people.
