The dishes comment is definitely PA amusing, but I must say I heartily approve of the other two!

I suppose stealing Ice cream COULD give you herpes if the owner of the ice cream has open mouth sores and was licking the container moments before YOU lick the container. Doesn’t that say more about the owner of the ice cream than the thief though? Quit wasting your money on pricey ice cream and buy some condoms bitch!

Yes, you too can remain herpes-free if you fill your car with dirty dishes rather than leaving them in your sink!

what note 3 doesn’t tell you is that “Starbucks” is the name of the “working girl” around the corner. Just a public service announcement from her pimp to let the regulars know she is having an outbreak.

“Stealing ice cream gives you herpes” if you use it to pay a crack-whore.

Note #1? Yeah, I think that’s just what Brad told his naive girlfriend after he passed it on. “I swear, sweety, you must have gotten them from those dirty dishes in the sink.”
Avoid the blame, AND get her to clean up the place? Double-win!

Whew, good thing I avoid Starbucks as fastidiously as I avoid stealing ice cream and leaving dirty dishes in the sink. Or in the car.
Is it just me, or is the
on the end of the second note absurdly hilarious?
ETA: Stupid auto-smiley. :/

So what if you already have herpes? Can you steal ice cream with no other consequences?
Not that I have herpes, but, um, damn, I’ve said too much already.

A Big Hunk ‘O Love
Elvis Presley
Hey baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
No no no no no no no no baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o’ ice cream will do
Don’t be a stingy little mama
You’re ’bout to starve me half to death
Well you can spare a starbucks and still have herpes left, yo, yo, yo,
Baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
Just a big-a big-a Cuppa Latte will do
You’re just a natural born beehive
Filled with herpes in and out
Well I ain’t greedy baby
All I want is all you got,herpes yo, yo, yo,
Baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o’ ice cream will do
I got herpes in my pocket
I got a rash ’round my wrist
You know I’d have all the things that Herpes is bound to bring
If you’d give me just one sweet kiss, no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o’ herpes will do
I really wanted to do this to a “Hunka, Hunka, Burning Love” Just couldn’t get it!

Wow, I thought maybe that you would have to eat the ice cream to catch the herpes, but I was mistaken. You only need to steal it…
I wonder if a certain brand or flavor makes it easier to catch herpes?

No mention of herpes being spread by dirty dishes in the bathroom. Probably safe…

I wonder what Note#3 means by entering Starbucks now… like, now as in “nowadays” or now as in, RIGHT THIS INSTANT…?
‘Cause if I just wait 5 minutes to enter, I should safe from the Herpes, right?

What the second note didn’t mention is that stealing ice cream gives you herpes, but that’s not all. Stealing cookies gives you chlamydia, stealing candy bars gives you crabs, stealing popsicles gives you syphilis, and stealing potato chips gives you Hep C.
Stealing or legally purchasing, I am NOT shopping at this store.

this reminds me of: “Enjoy your yeast infection!”
“hope you enjoyed that ice cream and that it was totally worth getting herpes!”

Is carful anything like car pooling? ‘Cause I heard you could get herpes from that. Must be from all the p in the ool.

If stealing ice cream gives you herpes, what kind of venereal disease would eating potluck Mongolian barbeque give you?
I’m going to go with genital warts…but I’ll check with Casey in Human Resources for clarification.

You know, that last note is funny because it’s true. Those x-dropping emo punks who work there are big time herpes carrieres.

It’s just, y’know, a general warning. Nothing specific.

I’m still trying to figure out the Starbucks one. Maybe if you don’t wring out your towels you can get herpes or something?

enter the word “employees” after “Starbucks” for better understanding.
