They're a US thing only, I think.

(I think I should have said I haven't been to the southern demographic.)

I know we keep our elbows in here...

Ok my freind you are an old and though cookie ! I won't change you!

No, you won't, but nice try, anyway

BTW, Burma Shave was a U.S. shaving cream company that plastered rural roadsides with their signs, containing cute rhymes like the one Bubbles just posted. Their signs are no longer seen, so they're most likely out of business.

Perhaps they spent too much on signs?

I see the small signs...those are funny!

The original company was gone long before I arrived.

Now we know your just a kid.......

I was thinking I have not seen a Burma Shave sign since the early 70s. We might have had residual signs being as close to Minneapolis as we are. ( They refuse to move the city to Illinois, where it belongs)....

You can date that sign by the references, I assume that was after "Old Benito" met his maker towards the end of the war.

Burma shave signs were just wood planks nailed to fences posts or whatever, I doubt the company ever took them down. They probably gave the farmer some Burma Shave a thank you ane went on their way.

I know what you were saying, and there's no need to be sorry or apologize Not your fault you live in cold country. Besides, I was only trying to get a rise out of you or Benny, since we've had this same discussion many times before. I can only hope that someday you'll see the error of your ways

It is her fault she lives there.
She could always pack up and move to where normal people live.

I am afraid we are much too stubborn to copy our wayward southern neighbours. We used to use Fahrenheit and all that mumbo jumbo, but we have seen the light! We are an improved people for it and we will succeed in converting you one of these decades.

Haven't improved your spelling.

You answered your own question... Normal people do not live in the VWN, therefore she is unable to realize she should not be there...

In addition she is brainwashed in all the metric crap and can't make a rational choice.. It is not her fault. Blame her ancestors....Unless she moved there on her own..in which case again it shows her flawed reasoning ability......
