I've been duped. A few weeks ago I ordered 3 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies from the daughter of one of the MTV control room crew. They arrived yesterday, and included with the cookies was the following note:
Thank you for buying Girl Scout Cookies from Brownie Troop ____. We are going to use the money we earned for a special trip and to help some needy people in our community.
We hope you enjoy your cookies. Thank you very much for supporting us in scouting.
Special trip? What the hell? I'm not paying inflated prices to pay for these girls' vacations or to subsidize their shopping sprees. All the money should be going to charitable causes, and if they don't like it, then maybe they're not Girl Scout material. What a gyp.

"Great for Girl Scout councils: Selling cookies once a year gives Girl Scouts an opportunity to earn money for program activities, for special events and projects, and for purchasing and maintaining equipment and facilities. "Cookie money" also helps councils recruit and train volunteer leaders, provide the financial assistance needed to make Girl Scouting available to all girls, improve and maintain campsites and keep camp fees for all members to a minimum."
the whole trip thing is bogus. The cookie money goes strait to Girl Scouts of America and then the troops hope to get more popsicle sticks in the next fiscal year for those Mother-in-the-making projects.
What type of girl scout cookies did you buy? Samoas...thinmints....
No, I'm a simple man with simple tastes: box each of double dutch, do-si-dos, and trefoils.
