I went to Australia recently and this was a sign that I saw while I was there. I was surprised by it because, as a rule, I don't normally see people randomly spitting on other people. For one thing, you can actually go to jail for it... it's considered assault. I just kind of laughed that they would put that on a sign and I wondered why.
I found out a few nights later when I missed the express train to get to my stop. Instead of 3 stops to get home, the train I did make would have to stop at least 12 times. No big deal to me, I was just happy that there was another option.
Well a lady nearby, who had also missed the train and had probably had too much to drink, says out loud, 'yah poofter... I'm going to spit on him!" And then she did as the train rolled by!
I was offended and sickened by it, yes, but for some reason I could not stop laughing. I had never seen anything like that before and then I go to Australia and .... boom.... something ugly. Apart from that one episode, Australia was so wonderful that I did not want to return. It was weird to miss the 4th of July, but I wore red,white, and blue to commemorate. S'all good.
Love to you all out there, Muffinhound
