    For the more mature amoung us

    A man, a miss,
    A car, a curve.
    He kissed the miss,
    And missed the curve.

    I loved watching for the Burma Shave signs on long family trips.

    The one that never failed to crack up this kid was:
    He lit a match
    To look in the tank
    And now they call him

    There is a farmer along the route to our cottage that has his own Burma-Shave signs. He on occasion changes the saying just to keep thing fresh. The current offering is:

    Said farmer Brown.

    Who's bald on top.

    Wish I could.

    Rotate the crop.
