So this morning, during a momentary lull in my workday, I was perusing my huge and unorganized list of bookmarks when I ran across a bookmark to the Burma Shave section of The Fifties Web.

For those of you, like myself actually, who are to young to have witnessed them yourself, Burma Shave used to put advertising slogans on signs up and down the roads in the US. For more on this, you can check out the article at Wikipedia.

Here’s you a good one:

The wife
Who keeps on
Being kissed
Always heads
Her shopping list
Burma-Shave

It’s always nice to see that the Internet is being used to keep alive parts of our culture that might otherwise go by the wayside of progress.
