heppnerguy Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 When you make your own pattern it better be in fun Because the boy owners might make you run Burma Shave Boy do I remember those signs along the roadways when I was young. They were so much fun because the messages on them made you want to read them. Now that was good advertising, if ever there was such a thing. I love the way you joggled my mind and made me smile with these. Dick heppnerguy jollyred and RabidAlien 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. Marg Burma Shave was a shaving cream for men. During the late 1940's to maybe about 1960's, Burma Shave made a series of wooden signs that were placed beside the highways of the United States. Each sign was a part of a funny saying that made travelers want to read them for the humor. The very last of the series of signs always read, "Burma Shave" and looked like the sign posted by Rocky. The signs were spaced so that it would take about a minute of driving to get from the first sign to the Burma Shave sign. Here is an example of one that I remember vividly. sign one: It seems as when Sign 2: you try to pass Sign 3: The guy in front Sign 4: Steps on the gas Sign 5: Burma Shave Often all the passengers in the car would sat out loud... "Burma Shave" when they go to the final sign Now you know a little more about the signs that us older people remember so well. Of course they mean nothing to the younger set.

Scrappile Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Remember this was back in the day of two lane hi-ways with speed limits of 55 miles per hour. You had plenty of time to look for the signs and to read them as you pasted.... amazingkevin and heppnerguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
