Roger’s comment:
“I was going to try and wax even more philosophical about this, but it all just came down to the effects of the passage of time, which is something you become used to with…um…the passage of time. Darn, I really need to work on my profundity. Perhaps I could take lessons from UncleScoopy. His work in the medium of Burma Shave signs is a thing for the ages.”
My notes:
Philosophy and Burma Shave signs are extremely compatible. Here are some of the some famous five-sign sequences:
Plato wanted
Lust hedonic
But his beard
Kept her Platonic
Burma Shave
‘Twas other people
Gave Sartre trouble
Especially those
With three-day stubble
Burma Shave
When Beckett let
His whiskers grow
She said she’d wait
To kiss Godot
Burma Shave
In political campaigning a ‘burma shave’ is when supporters of a candidate stand or walk on a sidewalk holding up signs to be seen by passing motorists.
