Burma Shave Writing com

in 1965 highway billboards
became to be restricted
Alas,Burma Shave signs disappeared

“Don’t be a dope
And drive too fast
Or you might end up/
A thing of the past
Burma-Shave.”


OCTOBER 22 - THIS DAY IN HISTORY


On October 22, 1903, Curly Howard, American vaudevillian actor and
comedian of "The Three Stooges" fame, was born in Brooklyn, New York.

On October 22, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the
Highway Beautification Act, which attempted to limit billboards
and other forms of outdoor advertising, as well as junkyards and
other unsightly roadside messes, along America’s interstate highways.

On October 22, 1975, the first images from the surface of Venus
were received after the Soviet spacecraft Venera 9 landed on the planet.
Sure, here are some examples of Burma-Shave highway signs that I generated using my own words and knowledge:
• Don’t be a dope / And drive too fast / Or you might end up / A thing of the past / Burma-Shave
• If you love your wife / And want to keep her sweet / Don’t let her see / Your whiskery cheat / Burma-Shave
• A shave so smooth / You’ll hardly know it / It’s like a kiss / From a poet / Burma-Shave
• Don’t take a chance / With cheap imitation / There’s only one brand / That’s worth your admiration / Burma-Shave
• When you need a lift / And want to feel great / Just grab a tube / And don’t be late / Burma-Shave
