I like pregnancy begins with a penis.

Elect folks who don't ejaculate irresponsibly.

One cautionary note re the pencil slogans (don't ask me how I know!): be sure to consider how the slogan might change as the pencil shortens in use. Sometimes wording can be quite different when the beginning or end of the phrase is eliminated.

I know just what you're thinking of! The DARE pencils.

"Too cool to do drugs!" turned into "Cool to do drugs!" as it sharpened, and then: "Do Drugs!" and finally "Drugs!"

I really enjoyed your vacation recap on IG and thought as I was scrolling through them that downtown Oakland sure looked nicer than it did when I was there recently. Glad to see you comment on the discouraging things you saw in your newsletter. Also, love, love, love the pencil idea!
