Been down on a Marine lately? Wait, what?

Been down on a Marine lately? Wait, what? by joestump.
Found this hilariously subtle change to an advertisement on one of the MUNI cable cars. The original sign said "Been down on a submarine lately?" My hat is off to the perpetrator.

only thing that would make it funnier is if it said, "parking in rear".
I know an old joke but ..hey it's funny.

I love the star burst "It's Thrilling!" – all the more precious because it looks to be part of the original design.

It actually looks to me like the "It's thrilling" one is part of the original design, referring to the sub ride. The way it's placed in relation to the text and picture lead me to believe that.

Very clever hack :)
