Second Best

by Neville G. Martin

Girl Scout cookie time will be here again before you know it.

It's the time when your neighborhood will be inundated with little Brownies knocking on your door saying " you don't want to buy any cookies, Do You?"

You will not be able to go to the mall or a Wal-Mart without being attacked by hordes of Girl Scouts shouting "these are the best" or "no, these are the best".

Put them in their place. Tell them you will buy some, but you do not want the best. Tell them you want the second best.

You will be met with strange silence and deep thought.

It will not take long, one of them will soon speak up with "these are pretty good".

That is the box you buy.

Support the Scouts, because the ACLU will not.
