Pompeii Graffiti

Read that Pompeii is so well preserved you can still read the graffiti on the walls of bars and brothels. Here are my favourites they found:

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

"Two friends were here. While they were, they had bad service in every way from a guy named Epaphroditus. They threw him out and spent 105 and half sestertii most agreeably on whores."

"Restitutus says: 'Restituta, take off your tunic, please, and show us your hairy privates.'"

I'm definitely going to start writing stuff like this in latin.
