1-22-10 Girl Scout cookies

I was walking into Stop&Shop minding my own business when accosted by little cookie sales women. Not to be pushed into an impulse buy, I asked the question. "Do you have Samoas?" They did, I bought. Couple years ago the name was changed for the sake of political correctness, I stopped buying.
