Dove Chocolate messages are thought provoking

I have been eating a bunch of the Dove chocolate candies. I love them because they are delicious. I started eating them thinking hey they put enough slogans in the chocolate wrappers that I could write a nice holiday card from them if I save all my wrappers.
My plan was going great my card would start with the first wrapper which was, "Spending time is a greater gift than spending money." I was thinking man anything that comes after that is going to be awesome, but the next phrase didn't fit as well as I hoped. "Joy is contagious." Okay so I might to rearrange 20 wrappers to have the perfect holiday poem but I got "joy is contagious" again.
Darnit I can't stop at that note I had better eat another chocolate and get a new message. YES! "Feel the promise of a warm day." Oh we are back on track. My plan seems flawless.
Now I have opened the past 13 chocolates trying to get four lines that I could use to arrange the first verse of my poem, however all the last 13 have said "Joy is contagious." Without a doubt I am going to break the record for most consecutive times in a row to get the same message.
If this was a horoscope business they would be out of business by the second day because no one wants to keep getting the same message, "Don't leave your house today or something bad will happen to you." I once listened to a bad horoscope for enough days in a row, but finally I decided I had enough I wasn't going start my day by listening anymore, I would just wake up and go right to work and then come home to see what it said maybe good fortune is just around the corner or you will meet someone soon hum could that be a new teenager at the drive through of the local Taco Bell. So after 16 days I lived my life and got up and went right into work and was fired for missing too much time! I gathered my teenage mutant ninja turtles up and my John McCain action figure and went home and to check and see if my luck was about to change. You wouldn't believe the nerve of my horoscope it said, "You didn't listen to me did you!"
I will tell you this right now I am not going to eat these anymore I can't keep getting myself into these never ending cycles, only to find that when I break the cycle tragedy befalls upon me. I think I am going to write them and help them come up with a few more slogans. I like the word contagious its catchy its got some real pizzaz to it! I will tell them you know what else is contagious, Anger. Anger is contagious. Hows that for an inspirational message. Imagine the person that reads that one Mr. Smelly Fartknocker "Anger is contagious." I bet that Smelly will finally realize the Christmas spirit and pass it along to his coworkers the same ones that hogged all the Joy for themselves. And when he gets finished passing along the Anger maybe he should know that Fire is contagious so he can hide how much anger he had to share, or maybe he should get one that says Bleach won't remove the blood stains, or do you really want to flee to Mexico. I hope that guy is reading the same horoscope I kept getting when the cops show up at his doorstep. Um Smelly Fartknocker. This is the Police we have got you surrounded please come out with your hands up and I hope he says to them no my horoscope said "Don't leave your house today or something bad will happen to you." But then I hope they drag him out of his house and he gets 40 years in jail, and when he gets into the jail he get a Dove chocolate out as he goes to read it it says something like You didn't listen to me did you? and he gets angry with it and opens another chocolate to find "Anger is contagious." and he gets really angry and is praying that he can just get something that is truely inspirational and as he opens it up it says Big Lou is your daddy now. When he gets to his cell he might look up at the six foot nine inch gargantuan of a man and say you must be big Lou, do you want a chocolate. Big Lou will of course ask these are the new Doves chocolates the ones with the inspirational messages right? Yeah yeah of course I wouldn't offer you the bad dove chocolates and I hope Big Lou opens up his to find out another great message which has to keep using that great word contagious. He will go to read it and it will say something like Big Lou STDs are contagious.
