Flexmoney Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I read the first few with the mindset of shooting a stage (instead of driving). http://wandascountryhome.com/remember-when/index.html Some of them REALLY apply to shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liota Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Flex, "Don't lose your head To gain a minute You need your head Your brains are in it." Perfect for me on the line. One of my friends says he can see my brain fall right out of my ear just before the buzzer goes off. When I can keep my brain in my head, I do well. The old paradox kicks in and I need my brain, but I don't want to be conscious of its every tick. Liota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry White Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 There were always burmashave signs between Jacksburo and Olney Tx and they were changed often. That was the last place I remember seeing them but I think it was after 1963, but maybe not. That was more than a week ago and thats about my limit now.-----Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsimpso1 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Burma Shave was a shaving cream company. I know this from a magazine article in a car mag from back in my youth talking about a past advertising form. Before the interstate highways increased our highway speeds, they had these advertisements that were witty little poems in several signs at a nice spacing, always ending in Burma Shave.
