Nah...that's wasteful. Don't get me wrong - I like the Girl Scout
organization. There were some kids on my street whose GS troop took them to
a VERY fancy blue-hair restaurant for lunch, and told them "Now, watch how
the old ladies eat. Look at their table manners....". I thought that was
cool, so I donated big-time for that idea.
