The Girl Scouts of America are making me FAT

[scottcsmith]

It's true! Every time I go to the store a table materializes at the entrance and there I'll find these young women armed with boxes of cookies and I just cave. This is a rough estimate, but in the last 60 days or so I've spent -- roughly -- $10,000 on cookies, give or take $9980 dollars or so.

Actually, I'm happy to help them out. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but based on their web site, they appear to be a very progressive organization, teaching young women leadership skills, fostering an interest in math and science, all in an atmosphere that promotes diversity. Sounds good to me.

2. Thin Mints

Are really a Bush Family Crime Plot to keep us fat and happy, and away from the polls in November. And why do they call them "Thin" mints. Another seditious plot.

4. They're making me fat too

You know how much fat is in you average Girl Scout? Especially those Brownies? Too much!!

No more deep frying. Next time its rotisserie or nothing

5. They're evil

It's a grand scheme to take over the planet. They will use any method, regardless of how heinous. They were there at Cheneys closed door energy meetings.

6. The difference between the Girl Scouts...

and the Boy Scouts is huge! I wasn't sorry to see my boys quit being Boy Scouts, and have been very happy with my daughter's Girl Scout experience.

The BSA is so retro it isn't funny. My husband calls them a "para-military organization."
