LOL
Burma reminds me: from the days of old, remembering those signs down the highway. A short section of pavement which always ended with the sign painted “BURMA SHAVE”.
Just because geography might have been taught years ago (for many of us) it is of little help today.

I never saw the Burma Shave signs on the highway, but they did have them at the top of the Thunder Road rollercoaster at Carowinds when I was a wee lassie.

And I know Istanbul (not Constantinople) from They Might Be Giants instead of the Four Lads. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQrKZcYtqg
