Do these bring back any old memories? If not, you're merely a child. If they do - then you're old as dirt ... LIKE ME!

I guess I'm DIRT! I remember the Burma Shave signs.
I loved those Burma Shave signs when I was a kid. I don't remember seeing any of the ones you listed, but I don't remember the ones I saw either. Miss those signs.

Tossing It Out
These are a hoot! I recall seeing them and how fun it was to read them on long car trips, camping with my parents and sister.
i loved to read this rhyme....nice ones.
I didn't come to America until the end of 1951, and don't remember Burma Shave signs. But they sure made a point, didn't they?
Eileen's niece and niece's hubby are here from New York, and were lamenting how cool it is in the Ozarks (91) compared to New York City, where it was 103 today! My daughter says even the Cleveland area got close to a 100 degrees today. Hope it's cooler by you.
