I remember seeing Burma Shave signs when I was a kid, quite some time ago. Right now I kinda miss 'em!

They were certainly more entertaining than that crappy graffiti we see all over everything nowadays. Which wasn't defacing other people's property, either.

There is or was not too long ago on the 99 Highway (visible from) which runs up the center of Kalifornia, I want to say some where between the Fresno Tulare area that still has the Redman Chewing Tobacco painted on the roof.

I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that. I live by Hwy. 99

But I don't get out much. It's hard to drive with the straightjacket on.

I like those a lot. My favorites:
