So, it's that time of year when any Girl Scout's mother or father you know is suddenly in your face waving an order form.
There's two Girl Scout mothers on my floor and they have both put up order forms for their respective daughters. Ordering has been pretty swift so far, coworkers carefully splitting their orders between both girls.
Do you and your family order these Girl Scout cookies? Do they make it to the freezer? Do you like the cookies?

Personally I can't stand the little trollops knocking on my door selling bloody cookies (and they're not cookies, they are biscuits !)
They're just in training to be as false, fake, overbearing and sickly as their shallow mothers, so they can just f#@k off.
I tell the ones at the door I bought at work, and I tell the over zealous mums at work selling them for their little cherubs that I bought from a neighbour !! (tee hee ! - very naughty !)
If all else fails, tell 'em you're on a low carb diet, then tell 'em to piss off !!!!
(yes I'm having a bad day today can you tell ??!!)
- I wanna go home !!!
