We can pretend to be normal, but, to interject a little metal detecting into this thread, I know there are thousands and thousands of people who are absolutely certain that we are all a bunch of greedy, money grubbing, public taking, sickos. (i.e. Sierra Club, Natures Conservency, etc).

Boy, if they only knew how we view them

When I was a kid we use to drive about 90 miles to my Grandparent's house about once a month. I always loved to read the Burma Shave signs along the highway. They always had some kind of profound saying. I wish I could remember some of them. Monty

There's a book about the old Burma-Shave signs, called the Verse by the Side of the Road.

Some were indeed inspiring, while others were amusing or related to auto safety. Offhand, I can only recall a couple:

A man, a miss,
A car, a curve...
He kissed the miss,
And missed the curve.
Burma-Shave

He lit a match
To check gas tank.
That's why they call him
Skinless Frank.

And discontinued because folks drove off the road trying to read them?

Through those
School zones
Please go slow
Let the little shavers grow.

The world is divided in to two types of people.. The Righteous, and the Un-Righteous.. It's worth noting, that it's always the Righteous that do the dividing!

You can't always get a gun with a can of beans, but you can always get a can of beans with a gun!

He had the car
He had the flat
She felt his face
and that was that.

[greydigger]

Listen birds
these signs cost money
so rest awhile
but don't get funny

They were for the most part discontinued because folks were stealing them.
many were recovered being used as lawn or driveway decorations.

One set of signs that caused a big controversy for Burma Shave Co.,
was a set that had one drug store owner asking all of his customers to bring back the empty containers.
He did save the jars til he had 10,000.

Free,
Free,
A trip to mars
For 10,000 empty jars

Burma Shave sent him on an all expenc es paid vacation to Mars ... Texas

I really enjoyed the Burma Shave signs.
They were only on one route that we took occasionally.
Looked forward to seeing them.

I think they all went away before Lady Bird put an end to freeway accessorizing.
Probably a good thing, though.

Could you imagine how many there might be now?

... I'm in California... one VERY troubled 7th largest economy on the planet...

These bozos are talking about renting out hiway emergency signs for commercial ads
STOOPID!

I can see it now... "I didn't know it was a REAL emergency, I thought Mickey D's had a special!"

Go figger!
