Please PISTON outside
Unlike the past 13 months, I do not have to put a puerile twist in this month’s Tokyo Train Manner[s] poster campaign warning everyone not to “PISTON*” in the station.

*Piston
Double penetration sex, with one man poking the girl in her vagina and the other in the ass. They alternate thrusts to create a piston action, much like that of an engine. Via UrbanDictionary.com
June’s poster above is one of the monthly series for the Tokyo Metro subways aimed at cajoling the so-called ‘rude’ Japanese public to have better train manners. In previous months, posters reminded riders to:
–Don’t read newspapers
–‘Please refrain from snotty…’
– The official start of the Japanese Vomiting Season
–No romance on the train, please
–Train posters–sometimes I can’t explain ‘em.
And many, many, more….

An interesting report about the artist, Bunpei Yorifuji, who created these wacko posters can be found at the Japan Times.
