    No, but my mom told me about them when we saw one in an antique mall.

      So much alike they think and write
      Yet one is black and one is white
      The evidence is plain to see
      Apparently from different parents they must be
      It may, it might, or perhaps they'd druther
      But could Randy D be Stu Bee's brother?
      Burma Shave!

    There is a part in the movie 'World's Fastest Indian' (starring Anthony Hopkins) where he reads off a set of Burma Shave signs along the highway.

    I remember them. How about the 'Wall Drug" signs?

  • That was a few years before I was hatched.  I love old signs, have a few.  My prize sign is Hires Root Beer with a thermometer, about 2.5 feet tall.  It's shaped and painted up like a bottle of the soda.
