Help me out here AND RRS....

My boss has given me permission to ask your advice in coming up with a marquee add for our sign for Easter. I KNOW I KNOW. But what he and I came up with is lame.

I am already donating a portion of my next check 20 bucks  to RRS. I will add 10 bucks more to what I had in my mind which will be donated on behalf of the winning submission. TO RRS, not him.

It does not have to be religious. It can be campy, or silly.

Just a reminder, this marquee is for a food joint. BUT it is limited to two lines and the letters each are 6 inches tall and the space is about 8 feet wide.

So whatever you submit should be short and sweet.

It is an asap thing, so whomever strikes me the best quickest will have another 10 bucks added to what I already will donate.

This is a family

This is a family restaurant.  If you are looking for beer and strippers, that is the other place across town.

Well, we have three

Well, we have three locally.  I would suggest that you avoid Harry O's though.  The strippers are all skanks there.

I am not not going into to much detail because there are people who could if they wanted exploit my actual real location. IF you don't want me to do that here, you can delete this post.

I was just trying to have some fun and throw you some donations. I will still donate the 30 bucks which was originally 20 until I came up with this. I am just going to name the winner of the 10 bucks in honor of coming up with it.

It is a breakfast place on the south east coast. That is all I am willing to say.

I wouldn't hesitate but I also wouldn't have a job. LOL

I used to work at a pizza place  where one guy put on the sign, "Now hiring muff divers" AND THE IRONY is that he didn't get fired. His boss yelled at him but thought it was funny . The sign was supposed  read "Now hiring drivers"

 OK, this will not fit on

 

OK, this will not fit on the sign but I have a mental image going here.

 

Boris Badanov is Natasha's pimp. Natasha says: “OK I will do the chick but not the bunny. He hides his eggs in strange places.”

 

That is actually a ripoff from Stern. back when he had to do real work, one time, he was live from some radio convention where June Foray was a guest. He had to write a bit instantly to fit the deal and he got her to say “I do moose but not squirrel. Squirrel hide nuts in strange places”.

back to the OP

"No stale peeps here."

Don't know how classy your joint is but do a chocolate heavy breakfast buffet - chocolate fountain, chocolate bunnies and eggs, warm chocolate syrup for waffles and pancakes, chocolate fondue, etc.

"Gave up chocolate for Lent?  Come sin with us!"

"Get your chocolate bunny fix here"

"Chocolate has antioxidants - its good for you!"

"Got PMS? Mellow out with our chocolate buffet"

"The Easter Bunny stopped by and he had the runs!"

Well, maybe not the last one.

These are all good for a

These are all good for a laugh, but keep in mind that the sign is restricted to letters and two lines.

The sign is about 8 ft wide with only two lines. The letters are about 6 inches tall and about an inch and a half wide.. Simply put the message has to be short.

I love the Borris joke, I am going to tell that at work today.

You will have to let us know

You will have to let us know how the joke goes over.

 

On a more real note, you could try handing out a free easter egg for every kid under ten.  It would cost your boss like a dime per kid but he gets all the sales for the whole family.

No real stand outs yet. Keep em coming.

FYI, I told my boss we couldn't have some of these submissions. I said it would be like a Cowboy fan writing an add for the Redskins.

I told them the borris Joke. It was a "meh" reaction. I guess it's not the same without the Russian voice to go with it.

 Hey, you're eating my eggs! (with a picture of a rabbit if you can do any graphics)

 

Lots of eggs...no paint.

 

If it was my restaurant I would serve rabbit leg and have the sign say "Legs & Eggs" of course, that would only appeal to a particular clientele. 

If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X
