In reply to The accidental book scout.

Burma shave signs are about as close to haikus as anything American advertising has ever done. I remember first reading about Burma Shave signs in the Reader's Digest. We didn't have them where I grew up. But then, when I was about ten, we were driving through Ohio, and they were all over the place. Whoever saw the first one would read it and then we'd all say the punchline together; "Burma-Shave!" (Those were the days when fun meant counting all the barns with Mail Pouch tobacco signs painted on them.)
