Funny Hats vs. The Troops

Got home from work at 2300 and I am worn out. Few hours I will be up to do it all over in the morning. Again, I will just refrain from comment about my job. Not good to make comments when one is tired.

I had a few things to post, but will tomorrow.

One question...Why do people buy a whole big bag of Vidalia Onions? I mean what do you do with a whole big bag? I just don't get it. There were people selling them all over the place on my trip to SE Oklahoma today. Never in my life would I need a gigantic bag of onions.

Someone enlighten me, please. I assume you can't freeze onions, can you? Heaven help you if you fry them all and eat them.

Here is the real amazing thing.....some organizations wait all year to sell onions and that money helps fund their group for certain projects the rest of the year. Can't remember what organization, but I'm sure they have a funny hat with a tassle.

Anyway, doesn't that seem a bit risky? Counting on onion sales to make your money and keep your organizations a float? I can just hear the meeting now...."I would like to make a motion that we buy new furniture for the meeting hall.".......discussion ensues about where they will get the money.......

$$$$talk$$$$........

"We should sell onions in the spring"

"What a brilliant idea - all in favor?"

I bet there aren't any women in that group wearing funny hats.

Now, let's compare the onion sellers in funny hats to another group - the troops.

The GIRLscouts to be exact.....they sell COOKIES to fund their entire year of activities. Imagine that?! Who doesn't want a box of cookies? (Who wants a bag of onions?)

Hmmmmm.....let's think about this. You've got a Ford on your left, tailgate down, guy in funny hat in lawn chair, ONIONS in the back of the truck. Then on you're right, you've got the troops holding up colorful signs covered in glitter that say "COOKIES for sale". Left or right?

Onions....Cookies?

Onions....Cookies?

If you say left and buy the bag of onions, just do me and everyone else a favor.....Go right and buy a box of Thin Mints. You are going to need them.

Going to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep to dream of cookies.
