minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up32·11 months agoAncient 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.
