Hi, everybody, I'm 54 and I've just joined the Geezers. It's good to find a hangout for Gaia's senior citizens - I feel like I belong in Gaia now, rather than worrying that I might get evicted if they found out how ancient I am!! I'm also very pleased that my years qualify me for The Council of Revered Elders of the Geezer Guild - a classy thread if ever I saw one! Look forward to talking to all of you. whee

Burma Shave
Just a little history lesson.
HOW I LOVED THOSE BURMA SHAVE SIGNS!!
Those Grand Old Burma Shave Road Signs
TRAINS DON'T WANDER ALL OVER THE MAP 'CAUSE NOBODY SITS IN THE ENGINEER'S LAP Burma Shave
SHE KISSED THE HAIRBRUSH BY MISTAKE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS HER HUSBAND JAKE Burma Shave
Remember these?
For those who never saw any of the Burma Shave signs, here is a quick lesson in our history of the 1930s and '40s.
Before there were intestates, 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 LOSE YOUR HEAD TO GAIN A MINUTE YOU NEED YOUR HEAD YOUR BRAINS ARE IN IT Burma Shave
DROVE TOO LONG DRIVER SNOOZING WHAT HAPPENED NEXT IS NOT AMUSING Burma Shave
BROTHER SPEEDER LET'S REHEARSE ALL TOGETHER GOOD MORNING, NURSE Burma Shave
CAUTIOUS RIDER TO HER RECKLESS DEAR LET'S HAVE LESS BULL AND MORE STEER Burma Shave
SPEED WAS HIGH WEATHER WAS NOT TIRES WERE THIN X MARKS THE SPOT Burma Shave
THE MIDNIGHT RIDE OF PAUL FOR BEER LED TO A WARMER HEMISPHERE Burma Shave
AROUND THE CURVE LICKETY-SPLIT BEAUTIFUL CAR WASN'T IT? Burma Shave
NO MATTER THE PRICE NO MATTER HOW NEW THE BEST SAFETY DEVICE IN THE CAR IS YOU Burma Shave
A GUY WHO DRIVES A CAR WIDE OPEN IS NOT THINKIN' HE'S JUST HOPIN' Burma Shave
AT INTERSECTIONS LOOK EACH WAY A HARP SOUNDS NICE BUT IT'S HARD TO PLAY Burma Shave
BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL EYES ON THE ROAD THAT'S THE SKILLFUL DRIVER'S CODE Burma Shave
THE ONE WHO DRIVES WHEN HE'S BEEN DRINKING DEPENDS ON YOU TO DO HIS THINKING Burma Shave
CAR IN DITCH DRIVER IN TREE THE MOON WAS FULL AND SO WAS HE. Burma Shave
And my all time favorite: PASSING SCHOOL ZONE TAKE IT SLOW LET OUR LITTLE SHAVERS GROW Burma Shave
Do these bring back any old memories?
If not, you're merely a child.
If they do - then you're old as dirt... LIKE ME! and I remember:
Don't stick your elbow Out so far It may go home In another car. BURMA SHAVE

REMEMBER 1957?
The following were some comments made in the year 1957:
1 "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.00."
2 "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5,000 will only buy a used one."
3 "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."
4 "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"
5 "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
6 "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage,"
7 "Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls,"
8 "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying damn in "Gone With The Wind", it seems every new movie has either hell or damn in it."
9 "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."
10 "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday that they will be making more than the President."
11 "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now"
12 "It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet."
13 "It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work."
14 "I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business."
15 "Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to Congress."
16 "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
17 "I guess taking a vacation is out of the question now days. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel."
18 "No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood."

I like all of your quotes (and the Burma Shave ones, which I wasn't familiar with before), but being a bit of a movie buff, this one especially appeals to me! xd
