~Drinking and Driving Lesson~ (Second time around)(Also: Today

Maxine and Burma Shave signs)

A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with friends
and had a couple of cocktails and some rather nice red wine.

Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did
something I've never done before; I took a cab home!

Sure enough, I passed a police road block but, since it was a cab,
they waved it past.

I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise; as

I have never driven a cab before.....

and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it now
that it's in my garage.

Happy Holidays!

Be Responsible!

(Memories for you and me from Nancy in Sheridan WY.)

BURMA SHAVE.

For some of us, this brings back memories. For you younger ones, you don't know what you missed driving those narrow roads!

For those who never saw any of the Burma Shave signs, here is a quick lesson in our history of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's. Before there were interstates, when everyone drove the old 2 lane roads, Burma Shave signs would be posted all over the countryside in farmers' fields.
They were small red signs with white letters. Five signs, About 100 feet apart, each containing 1 line of a 4 line couplet...and the obligatory 5th sign advertising Burma Shave, a popular shaving cream.
Here are more of the actual signs:


DON'T STICK YOUR ELBOW
OUT SO FAR
IT MAY GO HOME
IN ANOTHER CAR.
Burma Shave


TRAINS DON'T WANDER
ALL OVER THE MAP
'CAUSE NOBODY SITS
IN THE ENGINEER'S LAP
