Why Girl Scouts of America might be annoying:

    Most girls who join quit before they turn 13.
    Their parents usually sell their girl scout cookies for them, guilting co-workers to buy boxes of junk.
    With their cookie sales, they gotta take some responsibility for fattening our nation.
    Many people make fun of them.
    Their outfit is a hideous shade of green.
    They never will be accused of being cool.

Why Girl Scouts of America might not be annoying:

    They teach good skills, like reverence, decency and values.
    They teach skills that can last a lifetime.
