I bought Girl Scout cookies today. I suppose it's a good cause. I don't recall what I paid last year. Today, I bought them from a lawyer. I assumed, maybe wrongfully so, that he was retained asked by his daughter to sell cookies for her. I paid what he asked me to pay.
Come to think about it, I saw no price on the form emblazoned with the Girl Scout logo. Come to think about it, I didn't have to pay up front last year; I paid on delivery. Come to think about it, the amount he wanted was divisible by 3, a sure sign that a lawyer is in on the take.
Fucking lawyers.

Was he wearing that cute little uniform? Did he take the cookies out of his brief case? C'mon, these are clues, because cookie season doesn't start for several months yet.
Posted by: Philip at January 12, 2004 11:47 PMGood grief... You got taken, man. Philip is so right. Our girls are on their honor that they can't start selling for WEEKS yet. I guess that doesn't include their fucking lawyer fathers, though. What a ripoff. And no, you DON'T pay up front. USUALLY.

Posted by: Michelle at January 13, 2004 06:06 AMWhen last I sold GS cookies, the price per box was 50 cents. And, I think there were only 4 kinds. If you sold so many, you got money towards summer camp. And I loved Camp Brownwood. In fact, I loved Girl Scouting. I bet it is NOTHING like my old troops now. Sniff.
Posted by: Cowtown Pattie at January 13, 2004 10:41 AMI know for a fact that I paid more last year than someone else paid in a different area. Is that the Bay Area rate of inflation? Shouldn't they all be priced the same? The Girl Scouts have been watching The Apprentice, I think.
