Top 10 things you can do that are equivelant to robbing a Boy Scout
I'm sure some of you have heard the vomit-inducing storing about the man to the left. For those of you who haven't, here it is in a nutshell. 7-year-old Boy Scout, Brennan Starr was selling popcorn at a convenience store in Pennsylvania. The man in the picture walked up to where they were set up, asked if they gave change for a hundred, they produced an envelope full of money, and the man took off and ran with it, getting away with a little of $200.00. And as awful as that story is, I have a compiled a Top Ten List of things that you can do that are equivalent to robbing a Boy Scout. So, without further adieu, here it is.
TOP 10 TEN THINGS YOU CAN DO THAT ARE EQUIVALENT TO ROBBING A BOY SCOUT, IN TERMS OF BRAIN MATTER.
10. Sticking $1.00 in the collection plate at church and taking out $10.00
9. Buying Girl Scout cookies on an I.O.U.
8. Sticking up a group of kids after they've been out Trick or Treating all night.
7. Cutting in front of a legitimately disabled person in order to get their parking space at the mall. (I have seen some of you do this one)
6. While driving, you "flip the bird" to the same person that you just cut off. (This one really aggravates me, so it's in)
5. Buying a book from the bookstore, taking it home and reading it in a couple of days, and then taking it back for a full refund. (You know who you are)
4. Forgetting your wedding anniversary and instead of just asking, you present your spouse a gift on the wrong day.
3. For the police officers, out there. Coming up to a red light and instead of waiting like the rest of us, you flip your lights on and run the red light, then abruptly turn your lights off after you get through the intersection like it was some kind of a nervous tick.
2. For the students, out there. Failing an open book exam.
1. And the number 1 thing you can do that is the equivalent to robbing a Boy Scout, in terms of brain matter, is............while driving, getting caught picking your nose by the person in the car next to you and trying to play it off like you were doing something else. There is no other reason for your finger to be up your nose.
Most of the preceding list, as we all know, is not as morally wrong as robbing a Boy Scout. But when you consider the lack of common sense involved in some of them, they become just as aggravating and in some cases just as infuriating. Let's all do our best to get out of bed tomorrow and use the sense that "God gave a mule." Thanks for reading.
