1101．When I was 17，I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay，once the home of a watercolourist named Marian McNay.She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death.On a sunny Saturday，Sally and I drove over to the museum.She asked，"Do you have the address？" "No，but I'll recognize it，there was a picture in the magazine."
"Oh，stop.There it is！"
The museum was free.We entered，excited.A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.
"May I help you？" a man asked."No，" I said."We're fine." Tour guides got on my nerves.What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in？Sally had gone upstairs.The people in the hall seemed very nosy （爱窥探的），keeping their eyes on me with curiosity.What was their problem？I saw some nice sculptures in one room.Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me."Where do you think you are？ " he asked.I turned sharply."The McNay Art Museum！" He smiled，shaking his head."Sorry，the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What's this place？" I asked，still confused."Well，it's our home." My heart jolted （震颤）.I raced to the staircase and called out，"Sally!Come down immediately！"
"There's some really good stuff （艺术作品） up there." She stepped down，looking confused.I pushed her toward the front door，waving at the family，saying，"Sorry，please forgive us.You have a really nice place." Outside，when I told Sally what happened，she covered her mouth，laughing.She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.
The real McNay was splendid，but we felt nervous the whole time we were there.Van Gogh，Picasso.This time，we stayed together，in case anything else unusual happened.
Thirty years later，a woman approached me in a public place."Excuse me，did you ever enter a residence，long ago，thinking it was the McNay Museum？"
"Yes.But how do you know？We never told anyone."
"That was my home.I was a teenager sitting in the hall.Before you came over，I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in.I never felt lucky before.You thought it was a museum.My feelings about my home changed after that.I've always wanted to thank you."

The first piece of graffiti was found on one of the walls of the city Pompeii，which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD．It was one of 1，600 pieces of graffiti uncovered in Pompeii during a dig in the 19th century．Not surprisingly，there is much evidence of graffiti writing on the pyramid and temples of ancient Egypt．It is likely that ever since people have had walls and materials to scratch or paint with，they have been engaged in this simplest form of communication．
The writing of graffiti gives people a unique opportunity to achieve some kind of public audience．Thus short poems，declarations of love，pieces of political and revolutionary polemic（论战），and criticisms of institutions and people form a significant part of graffiti．
Apart from its usefulness in terms of self-expression，graffiti is also a valuable source for historians．There is always the possibility that historical events may be recorded by the presence of graffiti．Perhaps the most interesting example of this is the graffiti relating to the gladiatorial（角斗士） contests held in Pompeii．Graffiti can also give us a unique view into the daily life and customs of a people，for its casual expression encourages the recording of details that more formal writing would tend to ignore．
In the late 1970s，graffiti became popular．A thought written on a toilet wall in Wolverhampton can now be read in Chicago or Adelaide．In its own way，this is probably the most fascinating example of McLuhan's concept of "the global village"． We now have a worldwide toilet wall．
