For those who missed it, back in January I took some New York City subway “Wet Paint” signs and rearranged the letters to say other things.
Afterwords I thought of some more Wet Paint anagrams, but none really seemed worth a second post. That is, until I thought to use two signs.
Enjoy.
And I think that about does it for wet paint signs.
If you live in New York City, you have undoubtedly seen the Wet Paint signs in the subway, and have also seen the sign rearranged to say Aint Wet.
Whoever first thought to tear off the P and rearrange the words is a genius. So perfect in both form and function, it’s hard to believe the idea ever did not exist.
But I am not content with such utilitarian ideas. It is the superfluous and sublime that captivate me. Are there other anagrams that can open eyes and lift spirits?
In other words, can I be the love child of Will Shortz and Andy Goldsworthy?
And if so, isn’t that worth a few unexpected paint stains?
