    Burma Shave= Road Signs 2 2 OF 2

    Burma Shave Slogans
    These signs used to appear alonside the highway, each sign
    containing one
    sentence of a longer slogan. So you would drive by and the kids
    would all
    read aloud each of the signs. Anyway, some of these can be pretty fun, though it pays to pause
    between
    each line and imagine yourself rumbling down an old 2-lane road,
    top down
    on the Chevy convertable, watching America roll by...
