Common in the '80s, a 'penis-tag' is still occasionally performed. This example is in a grubby little ignored corner of the huge supermarket plot, on a pedestrian short-cut to a main road. 

I
t's coincidental the way the image is sniffing at the garbage beneath it, especially the water-bottle! and seems at the same time to curve down, is almost appended from, the sinister little yellow warning sign: "DANGER OF DEATH" picturing a death-dealing lightening strike ! These were almost certainly not in the tagger's sight, but when such a potentially evocative symbol is added to a place rich in chance it inevitably orchestrates relationships and focuses stories.
