    I never knew. Couldn't find any info on it last I looked. Great stuff, I use very, very sparingly.

    Those are all great and funny of course, but I'd like to HAVE Burma Shave, just to see how popular it was.

    I think "Burma Shave" never made it across the ocean? I cannot remember ever having heard about it.

    I wonder if people put BURMA SHAVE signs under speed-limit markers, or over state border markers.

    No. The company bought their own signs, post and even had leases/maintainance contracts for people to keep up the signs.
