Burma Shave™
/ˈbɜːmə ʃeɪv/
/ˈbɜːrmə ʃeɪv/
- a US make of cream used on the face when shaving. Between 1926 and 1963 the Burma-Vita Company advertised it on a series of small signs along roads. Each sign in a group had a few words printed on it, and the whole group, read in sequence, formed a short humorous poem. At one time there were 35 000 of these. One was: “Noah had whiskersIn the arkBut he wouldn't get byOn a benchIn the park.Burma-Shave.”
一种美国制造的剃须膏，用于面部。 1926 年至 1963 年间，Burma-Vita 公司在道路沿线的一系列小标志上做广告。每组标牌上都印有几个字，整组标语按顺序朗读，就形成了一首幽默的短诗。曾经有 35000 个这样的人。其中之一是：“诺亚在方舟里有胡须，但他在公园的长凳上过不去。缅甸剃须。”
