    Did you ever see Burma Shave signs along the highway as a child?
    Here is one I remember as it was on the way to my Grandparents' ranch.

    You know


    Your onions


    Lettuce us suppose


    This beets em all


    Don't turnip your nose

    @Faye Fox

    They were still numerous in 1965 when my new wife and I were driving out of Chicago on our honeymoon.

    I remember seeing them a lot, but don’t remember what any of them said.
