Zach, “Hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt” is the ultimate, holy grail, rosetta stone, end all be all of chocolate jokes. Even better when combined with gay marriage, like you did. Thank you.

Layne, “don’t hassle me” t shirts. lolol

Tyler, I love the idea of combining my chocolate biz with my window cleaning biz, but I hate to tell you that that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the last 3 years. Which is why I truthfully have on my resume that I have the leading business in the world in my particular field.

Ben, neurons explain a lot more than people think.

“because of neurons” is amazing.

“Honey, why did you eat all that chocolate?”
“Because of neurons.”

“Honey, why is there a chocolate-covered shark in the driveway?”
“You know why.”
“Oh. Right. Neurons.”

I think that your future chocolate bumper sticker business would coincide nicely into your window cleaning one. You must drive a work van of some sort, which now will be covered from underbelly to summit with classy, expressive, and modern slogans, like a written description of the lives of those who play Onyx Jenga. Alongside the newly decorated car could could be free samples handed out with the window cleaning bill. How about “Chocolate makes life bright, AND, so do clean windows!” Who better to be promoting two products at once than buff, seemingly clean-cut but bad boys slinging squeegee’s all day wearing work shirts that say “If you don’t want others to think that you suck, clean your windows and eat chocolate” ha ha , great post

clip art. the possibilities are endless.
if you remember in the movie, “Clifford,” (one of the funniest movies of all time) there’s a scene where a crazy, hyperventilating Clifford sends his uncle into the gas station for some chocolate. The attendant tells his uncle that they’re out of chocolate. after some desperate pleas the attendant remembers that there may be a single chocolate bunny leftover in a freezer in the back (it’s mid-summer). The uncle grabs the attendant by his collar and with crazy eyes demands him to “go get the bunny.” …guess you have to just watch it. hilarious. chocolate humor can be really great.

I can imagine all of the thousands of single, lonely 50-year-old women driving cars with your bumper stickers about chocolate while wearing shirts with a rabbit or other cuddly on it that say “Don’t hassle me!”

The mental imagery for your advertising demographic is fascinating!

I sure wish “Gimme all your chocolate and nobody gets hurt” wasn’t taken, but since it is, I would put a spin on that one and maybe say, “No one wants to get hurt in the gay marriage controversy, and I only hurt people when I don’t get my chocolate, SO HAND IT OVER!!!.” Is that too long? Another favorite “high school backpack patch” a girl had at my school – “Pobody’s nerfect.” Is there any to get that in there? “Pobody’s Nerfect–it’s a good thing we have chocolate!” This might not be directed toward the demographic we’re looking for — people interested in the gay marriage debate/chocolate lovers, but it’s sooooo catchy.

I actually believe ““Forget about gay marriage, I want to know when I can marry my CHOCOLATE!” would sell pretty well.

Wow, I had no idea Word had a clip art file right there in the program. I took a minute to look through my clip art catalogue in search of images that could serve as good business logos, and yes, there are some great options.

I recommend that little drawing of the Asian pagoda. That would be at home anywhere, whether in the corporate board room or on your invitations to your neighborhood Chinese New Year party. Thank you for pointing me to this valuable resource.
