My workplace had a region-wide contest for their new campaign regarding making our hospitals all smoke-free. They wanted slogan ideas for their posters and whatnot...
I had run into a co-worker at the timeclock, and she asked me if I was going to enter the contest. I said I hadn't really thought about it, but she insisted that I should, as I always win contests at work.
So a few days later, I went ahead and submitted a slogan. I guess three other people had already submitted the same thing, and I was told I could try again and could submit as many entries as I wanted before midnight that night.
I decided to run with it, just for fun. The poor PR guy got like 20-30 submissions from me, some of them serious, some of them just for fun. (I think my favorite one was, "Every time you smoke, a puppy dies. Think of the puppies!")
I got a call this morning to go show up for some special meeting thing-a-ma-bob at 7:00am on Thursday to be presented with my award, as I seem to have placed in the top three entries.
Ah, it warms my heart. The type "A" personality part of me just got a good feeding. :)

Here via the Black Box. Nice to meet you!
Maybe try "Cancer is God's way of saying you shouldn't smoke." Or go the other way with "Smoking - Satan approves."
Hey, fred. Nice to meet you, too. :)
I love your Satan slogan, grant. Very catchy!
Update: I took third place. $25 gift certificate. Woot!
