Who remembers Burma Shave signs?
Past
Schoolhouses
Take it slow
Let the little
Shavers grow

1. ME
Here lies the body

of Patrick Grey

He died defending

His right of way

He was right

Dead right

as he sped along

now he's just as dead

as if he were wrong

BURMASHAVE

2. And Me!
Violets are blue
Roses are pink
On graves
Of those
Who drive and drink
Burma-Shave

3. Imitations
Imitations
Let you down
Quicker than
A strapless gown

BURMA SHAVE

4. I had a teacher growing up tell us about these ads
I think this tactic should be used with
other things .

7. My local Planned Parenthood is doing a "Burma Shave" promotion
except it's for PPDE and not Burma Shave.

Great Promotional Idea!!!

9. This is a great thread!
My father used to love this Burma Shave sign:

The bearded lady bought a jar

And now is a famous movie star.

Burma Shave.


Now to go think up some Bush versions...
