Here are some more...

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

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

SHE KISSED THE HAIRBRUSH
BY MISTAKE
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS
HER HUSBAND JAKE

DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD
TO GAIN A MINUTE
YOU NEED YOUR HEAD
YOUR BRAINS ARE IN IT

I miss those little verses. Today all we have are campaign sign after campaign sign at every intersection on a major road (and some not so major). And the damn things won't disappear after November, either.

Joated-
Don't forget the "Truckers Welcome-free showers" Adult book store signs!

I just barely remember Burma Shave signs when they were still around. I had a whole book of them when I was a kid though. I think I got it at a Stuckeys.
