I had a co-worker who was always flogging girl guide cookies at work. I
used to buy them to help support his kids activities. I don't even like
GG cookies. Then one day I was flogging something for my son's school
activity. Mr GG cookies was the only one who didn't help out. No more
GG cookies for me.
