ahaha. the doorbell rang before and it was this girl, prob about 10 years old, with a basket of easter eggs and candles. and she goes, "hi, i'm selling easter eggs and candles in exchange for a gold coin donation for, well, for me."

and i'm liek "hahah i like you girl" so i go and get my purse and give her a dollar coin and say "can i have a couple of eggs?" and she's like "... you can have one thing", so i gave her $2 for 2 eggs. she drove a hard bargain. she was politer than the riding for the disabled lady that comes round and sneers at my loose change every 6 months. i liked this girl's brashness. I GIVE YOU A DOLLAR FOR THAT.

I was one hardass Girl Scout. I was all, "TWO BOXES OF THIN MINTS?! Do you want the noble insitution of Girl Scouting to crumble and die becaue of your paltry contribution?! And how can you pass up the Shortbread? COUGH IT UP, BITCH!"

Do you have Thin Mints in Australia? If not then you are a nation sadly deprived and some kind American should send you a care package.

No, we only have Girl Guide biscuits, which come in two thrilling flavours: Plain, or Plain with Chocolate On Them.

That is so very sad. Have you ever had a thin mint? They're lovely chocolate mint crispy things that are wonderful frozen.

No. *is sad* They sound yummy, though.

It speaks for itself, really.

But not to fret! You have sun and beaches and nice things! We have George Bush.

True. I'm willing to keep my plain biscuits and my sun (er... well, not at the moment) rather than have your George Bush.

I would immigrate, if your government didn't shun filthy Americans.

*pets*

*stabs government*

We'd be glad to have you, if our government weren't all arsehats. Especially if you brought thin mints.

I could bribe the immigration officials with my tasty US baked goods! A cunning plan!

[identity profile] laurenmitchell.livejournal.com 2005-03-28 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
YES! That's an even better idea!

(If only I could drive, I'd've applied for a job as a customs official, and I know that I would most definitely be bribable with baked goods.)

Hmm. There must be other similarly succeptable Australians. Some MUST work for customs.

This is genius. GENIUS, I TELL YOU!

*in fits* Hell yeah, I so would!

Girl's got it right, going out there for a worthy cause. None of this fiddlefaddling around "um uh donate to help save...dying monkies in the Quabumba Valley. They're adorable. Don't let them die. You monkey abuser".

Nononono, I would rather give money to someone who just said outright, I want money. Well, a kid like that anyway.

Oh, cool. She'll probably own the town by the time she's 30. Kudos for honesty!
