The writing is on the (bathroom) wall

With an army of attendants watchfully guarding the doors – and paper towels, and mints – in many Las Vegas bathrooms, you’re more likely to find a perfume testing lab in your local lavatory than a scrawled set of digits or an impromptu stall-wall sonnet.

With the exception of a few off-Strip bars and clubs, bathrooms in this town are largely kept clean and devoid of Sharpie-d words to ponder while on the pot. Not so the case in San Diego. This past weekend, visits to a handful of So-Cal bars yielded a whole range of inconsequential quotes on everything from reality to failed relationships to the essence of man.

And since we all do some of our best thinking in the restroom, I thought it only fair to share these words of wisdom with you. After all, when was the last time the woman offering you a mint Lifesaver also served up a line from The Velveteen Rabbit?
