 I think some here will like this..
 
 Remember these? For those who never saw the Burma Shave signs, here is a quick lesson in our history of the 1930's and '40's. Before the Interstates, when everyone drove the old 2 lane roads, Burma Shave signs would be posted all over the countryside in farmers' fields. They were small red signs with white letters. Five signs, about 100 feet apart, each containing 1 line of a 4 line couplet, and then the traditional 5th sign advertising Burma Shave, a popular shaving cream.
 
 Here are some of the actual signs:
