Except that I would write a.m. instead of A.M. (a style thing), these seem fine to me. Sometimes being clear -- okay, ALWAYS, being clear -- is more important than being clever.

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!

Hey there!  Yes of course (for the a.m. - something I just wrote in hurry!) 

Barbara, the cafeteria guys want to put up something funky and catchy!  That's the reason I wanted some good 'clever' ones.  Please do think up something nice if you can.  Thanks!

Um... The maid is on strike, so please help yourselves.

Get it while you can. And you can get it until 11 a.m.

1. Empty stomach. Self-service. Choose wisely.

2. Breakfast: Piping hot till 11am. Stone-cold afterwards.
