  • How many sayings?

    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105 to Daryl Stout on Monday, January 19, 2026 18:42:04

    I rememberseeing Burma Shave signs as my dad was driving on roads.
    How many poems are there in your Burma Shave file?

    I am guessing the company had more than 366 poems on their signs.
    Thanks.

    Ed,

    I rememberseeing Burma Shave signs as my dad was driving on
    roads. How many poems are there in your Burma Shave file?

    Well, just one for each day of the year.

    I am guessing the company had more than 366 poems on their
    signs. Thanks.

    There are likely more. I got many of the items for the files from
    various websites.

    You can find more info on Burma Shave on Wikipedia.

    Daryl, A long time ago I read the Burma Shave page on Wikipedia.
    I am probably have it saved on my desktop box.
    Will look to see if its there when I am in that room later.
