Tea Party Signs a la Burma Shave
5/22/2010 | Bhoy

Posted on 05/23/2010 2:48:05 AM PDT by Bhoy

For Tea Party demos along streets & highways it might be effective to space ourselves like Burma Shave signs. Takes 4 -- 3 with the lines 1 with the punch line: Tea Party. Some samples follow.

At one of these events a guy who'd worked with the city traffic planners pointed out the things to look for: where the freeway exits were & how long the cars had to wait at intersections.

Good idea, but these need to be shorter and snappier. They don’t work as they are here.

Also I would stay away from statements that are detrimental to particular groups. Keep it geared to America as a whole.

My favorite real Burma-Shave sign:

Past the Schoolhouse
Take it slow
Let the little
shavers grow
Burma-Shave
