Get it together, girls


Ripped from the headlines. . . I hope Law & Order covers this shit:


Cookie hoax: Girl Scouts scammed out of $24,000


A girl's prank order for 6,000 boxes of cookies taken by troops in Oregon prompts a community bailout.



There's so much fresh-squeezed juice in this story. Where to begin?

First of all, I do not endorse the Girl Scouts as an organization and by extension any organization that promotes bunching, especially of identically dressed squirts. The Girl Scouts claim they build girls of courage, confidence, and character. But apparently zero street smarts.

Some questions:

          1. Who took this $24,000 order exactly?
          That Girl Scout should be fired. 

          2. Who orders $24,000 worth of Girl Scout cookies? 
          NO ONE. 

          3. Why do Girl Scout cookies taste so good even though they taste like cardboard?
          MSG probably.

Was this cookie debacle really a scam? Or better yet, was it a test of how gullible the Girl Scouts are? What practical skills are these girls developing if they can't spot a cookie fraud in progress? 

Get it together, girls. How are you going to make it in the business world where jerks are plentiful and infinitely more sneaky than this culprit.

And to think the fraud perpetrated was by a GIRL. I applaud her frankly. I mean, yeah she's a total jerk but at least she's owning her jerkness and by so doing, revealing the glaring flaws in the Girl Scouts organization. You'd never catch this jerk girl bunching. She probably hates cookies too. What a jerk.

“This was a really tough lesson regarding business ethics,” Sara Miller, spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington, told The Oregonian.
Long-overdue lesson is more like it. Toughen up, 2.3 million tiny ladies in the making.

I don't feel bad for the Girl Scouts. Or for that jerk girl. I feel bad for the cookies. And for Oregon which most likely will experience a serious ramp up of diabetes soon from bailing out the Girl Scouts.

Gung gung.
