If they can have cows writing on billboards and encouraging people to “eat mor chikin” on behalf of Chik-Fil-A (here in Texas and elsewhere), then they can have Burma Shave billboards by the interstates. Were it up to me, I’d revive the product brand name for that reason alone. :) Right along with Hai Karate. ;)
Will that longest snake challenge with Broad fatso gal with a rock bat. She usually does to whamp the small snake with rock bat. Burma snake VS Broad fatso gal ?
I have a few of the very old BC pocket books at home. The comic lists its cast of characters at the begining of the book. “The Fat Broad” was the name given to the weight-challenged woman who likes to flatten the snake with a club. To my knowledge Hart has not changed her name. In fact, I believe there may have been a recent comic that actually used her name.
Also I’m no Democrat…BC13 was chosen because I like the comic strip of the same name and I am not superstitious. I don’t dread Friday the 13th like others do.

Good one, Rakkav! Too bad they don’t put those Burma Shave signs out on the road any more, I know where you could get a job.

If the directions said “rub this on” … it’s probably the “rubbing” that did it.
Then again … snakes don’t have hands

Check Burma-shave.org for listings of the original ‘jingles’.
BTW, those and billboards are how I learned to speed-read.

This is great! I can’t believe so many people still remember the old Burma-Shave signs.

Well the fat broad can’t miss now, not that she ever missed before.

Hey, enhanced snake, here’s how you do it. 1. Lie in wait 2. spring up and bite her 3. wrap your coils around her 4. squeeze
boldyuma over 15 years ago
I used to date a girl named “snake” in high school…..she had enhanced bumps too!

EMET,
Wood…not an iron - as in golf.

where I live along the old 66 highway, we have a few “new” burma signs. More would be welcome.

EMET – Isn’t that Hebrew for “truth”? Would fit with some of the more arcane things I’ve seen you throw out.
Off-topic for that reason, perhaps you’d enjoy this part of my Web site for that reason:

(“Rakkav” is Hebrew for “horseman, charioteer”. Back-translation from an Anglo-Saxon last name.)

Thanks, EMET.
Pursuant to some other comments, the official Web site confirms that the Snake’s nemesis is indeed named Fat Broad:
