Punny people of fedi, can you help with a pun on the tip of my tongue?

A few years ago while driving around Berkeley / Oakland, I saw a window blinds and shades business van with the absolute best slogan, which has somehow been wiped from my mind.

The gist was that if you didn't like your window shades/blinds/curtains, they'd improve them for you. Like maybe "If you don't like the view from your windows, let us cast some shade for you"

It was certainly punchier than that, but I'm pretty sure window(s), view, and shade(s) were mentioned. Maybe also tired, old, and/or window treatment(s)

ps: Alcatraz Shade Shop is in that general area, and the store has a letter board that they put similarly themed puns on, but I'm certain the punny slogan I'm thinking of was on the back of a van, in a more permanent sort of livery.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "You're in here a lot. Are you an alcoholic?"

The horse thinks for a moment, then responds, "I don't think I am."

And POOF! He disappears.

This is where #philosophy students start to snicker, because they're familiar with Descartes' postulate, "I think, therefore I am."

But telling you that first would've been putting Descarte before the horse.
