That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles

My God, is nothing safe in this frakked up economy?

The Girl Scouts are reporting that preorders for their annual cookie sales are down by 19%. Preorders account for the majority of cookie sales, and take place mostly in offices and workplaces. Of course, this drop-off probably isn't all that surprising since pretty much everyone and their uncle has been laid off from work.

They are hoping to make up for the shortfall later in the spring when they begin setting up their stands at shopping centers.
