Sneak a peek at toilet signs the world over

Toilet If you're not reading the fantastic blog Presurfer, then you’re missing out on some great stuff — like today’s link to a collection of restroom signs from around the world. It’s kind of entrancing to see so many takes on the world's most ubiquitous advertising message: “This is where your gender pees.” My personal favorites are the ones that push the stylistic envelope to the point of risking a ruptured bladder. “Am I a pizza slice or a pizza with a slice missing?! I just don't know!” I was also surprised to see one from Paris that looks disturbingly like me and my wife. (And no, it's not the one pictured above.) UPDATE: The site has crumpled under its newfound popularity. Thanks to Jezebel.com for pointing out the Flickr Restroom Signs Pool as a good alternative.

Ha!
The one from UrbanAngel in Edinburgh is a Trainspoting reference.
It's a conversation between Spud and hs girlfriend and another couple, just before the middle of the film.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, or not, but I had to take a pee break while looking at the restroom signs.
