Having just paid four dollars for a nine oz. box of cookies, I would appreciate a post card a month in advance of the local cookie drive in order to be out of town or hide somewhere.
Well I do like the thin mints, but...
Is the cookie drive held at the same time each year? If so, a warning coffee mug would be a better deal since it would warn you each year at least until it was lost or broken.

What is worse is that our Boy Scouts sell $10 bags of popcorn! Just avoid eye contact!-- xandram, Feb 13 2014 Thin mints must be frozen to be any good.-- RayfordSteele, Feb 13 2014 I always tell them that I'm on cookie restriction, but I'll buy a box that they can send to the troops overseas, poor devils.-- normzone, Feb 13 2014 I've always found that a cheery "fuck off" works well at getting one out of these awkward situations.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Feb 13 2014 random, halfbakery
