Burma Shave signs.

[Big Muddy rancher]

I don't really remember the original Burma shave signs but Saw some down by Jordan MT. a few years ago so we put 2 sets up on the fence going past our place.
HARDLY A DRIVER /IS NOW ALIVE / WHO PASSED ON HILLS /AT 75 / BURMA SHAVE


SAID COWBOY RED /WHO'S BALD / ON TOP /WISH I COULD /ROTATE THE CROP / BURMA SHAVE

We had a few comments on the signs and a couple that missed our turn because of them. :cowboy:

My favorite:

The draftee
Tried a tube
And purred
Well whaddya know
I've been defurred
Burma-Shave

As a kid when we went anywhere there were Burma Shave signs along the main roads.As I got older one of my favorites was near a school.
It went;WHEN IN THIS ZONE HEED OUR INSTRUCTIONS HELP US SAVE OUR TAX DEDUCTIONS.
Who the hell said progress was so great?

Another good one was--


When driving by the school house, Drive slow, Let the little shavers grow.
