I think Laz was the first to come up with the Burma Shave stuff on earlier fund-raising threads. Back about 4 or 5 years ago.

The little ditties were sprinkled all over the country, along the highway and byways. I remember them from the '30's. During the '40's they had them on the platforms of the Elevated street car stations in Chicago. Check this really great piece of Americana. I was there. BURMA SHAVE
