Shit puzzle
Not even sure why I am posting this, but I am interested to see if a non-native english speaker can guess what it means.
To the native English speakers, please don't post the answer straight away.  YYUR YYUB ICUR YY4ME

After about 2 minute thinking as a non-native speaker: UR (you are) and 4ME (for me or for Emmy?) is more or less clear but what is this YY? Why two? IC is apparently I see.
It reminds me of what happened when I first came to Houston. The secretary at work asked me: I need your middle initial to start e-mail account. I answered "Y" (my MI is Y). She said: because I need it to create an e-mail account. I answered "Y" again. She was really puzzled: because you need e-mail. Apparently there are no thinkable American names starting with Y.

I suspect that texting has rendered this puzzle a lot easier these days than it was 100 years.

OK, "YY" stands for too wise apparently. It just struck me at work in the middle of the day. It is a shit puzzle indeed, may be for little kids.

Believe it or not I first saw this over 10 years ago as toilet graffiti at a bit of a hippie convention.
 I am sure it is only because of the prevalence of txt these days that I thought of it.
