There is an artist named Jay McPhillips. In addition to classical style portraits he has a whole collection of visual humor. You can read more about him on Mark Talaba's blog. During a conversation Mark, Jay and I had at the local coffee shop, Mark made that common statement people who associate with your parent's generation say, "You probably don't remember but Jay's humorous t-shirts remind me of Burma Shave." As you are driving down the road you see a line of the ad and then you drive some more and read the next line. Here are two I like:
Burma-Shave
Was such a boom
They passed
The bride
And kissed the groom
To kiss
A mug
That's like a cactus
Takes more nerve
Than it does practice
Burma-Shave
Jay McPhillips
