So I'm guessing I'm the only who read The Verse By The Side Of The Road
? Or that no one here's all that old? 'Cause these signs are classic. Where else can you find a strange mixture of shaving wisdom, admonitions not to drink and allusions to mangled corpses?

I haven't read that book Scott, but I did read "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio" and you are right - Burma Shave signs rule.
BTW, you are my new hero. I was so sad going to bed last night, seeing Bellamy Foster's numbers tick up like that. fight on.
