Servít je vůl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Servít je vůl”(Servít is ox) were inscriptions in Czech language, which began to occure in 60's as a satirical joke, written by students. However later it became popular and even some modifications were widespread among people, who didn't even know, who Servít was. There are proofs of many appearances around the world.
