I LOVED those Burma-Shave signs!

When I used to drive commercial truck, I would see signposts in the Burma-shave tradition, hawking any and all manner of stuff. Virginia had the most clever ones; telling everyone to slow down.

I only remember seeing one from my youth. It was in Oregon, heading south on the interstate 5, somewhere after Portland and before Eugene.
