girl scouts and cigarettes OR the juxtaposition of comically opposite words always makes for a clever title

I quit smoking this month, but god damn it do I have the urge to buy a pack.

Today I broke down, took my crinkly 5 dollar bill, and started on a walk for the Village Market. Lo and behold, God gave me a sign saying, "If you buy those cigarettes, you will make a little girl cry."

THERE WAS A GIRL SCOUT COOKIE BOOTH right in front of the village market. The cookies cost $4 a box. With their awkward, toothy-yet-toothless little smiles and their corny-as-shit vests, these little girls stole my heart. "I was that bucktoothed little bitch behind a table once, too."

Needless to say, I am now the proud, nicotineless owner of a box of Do-Si-Dos.
