Burma Shave

Listen birds
These signs cost money
You can rest awhile
But don't get Funny
Burma Shave

Found a link to a web page about Burma Shave signs while surfing journals. Yes, I do remember seeing a few when I was a little kid.

Why is it
When you
Try to pass
The guy in front
Goes twice as fast?
Burma-Shave

The safest rule
No ifs or buts
Just drive
Like every one else
Is nuts!

I always liked the ones on traffic safety. And the funny ones...

BTW, I've wondered if ad banners were the Burma Shave signs for the 90s (and beyond....)

Naw - they don't have the humor of the old BurmaShave signs. I remember riding across country when I was a kid, when spotting new BurmaShave signs was a real treat.
