Some of you just might know what the fifth part of this says, something about B.S., as in.......


BURMA SHAVE.

From the September 13th Canton Rep (Ohio) "Gary Brown: How many of you remember Burma Shave signs?" I've seen most of these little sayings, but always enjoy them, so here we go.

Of course, along the road, there would be five signs, the fifth one always with the obligatory Burma Shave logo.

Don't Stick Your Elbow-- Out So Far-- It May Go Home-- In Another Car-- Burma Shave


Drove Too Long-- Driver Snoozing-- What happened Next-- Is Not Amusing-- Burma Shave


She Kissed the Airbrush-- By Mistake-- She Thought It Was-- Her Husband Jake-- Burma Shave


Midnight Ride-- Of Paul for Beer-- Led to a Warmer-- Hemisphere-- Burma Shave


Hardly a Driver-- Is Now Alive-- Who passed On Hill-- At 75-- Burma Shave

The first ones came out in 1927 and they were quite popular in the 30s and 40s. They were small red signs about a hundred feet apart.
