Cookies & Cash

Story taken from here.

We've all been there. It's late at night, you're watching TV or blogging as I am right now and you're hungry. You think to yourself, "Man wouldn't it be great to have some cookies!" The thought that you wish someone else may even make you some might run through your mind as it does mine...but let me throw this idea out to you. Freshly baked cookies, made by someone else, delivered to your door and you get them to pay you $9oo. Sounds pretty sweet huh?

Well believe it or not, our world has sunk to a new low, a 49 year old lady from Colorado got just that. Apparently some girls were being nice and baking cookies for their neighbors instead of going to a dance where there may have been drinking and such. Sounds pretty good huh? But wait until you hear what these malicious attackers did next. They put the cookies on the doorsteps of their neighbors, rang the door bell and ran away. What a hideous act. It was so traumatizing that this one lady apparently had an anxiety attack.

So what else would you expect to happen the in country where they sue for anything? She took the girls to court! Ok so no case right? Oh how we have thought that so many times before. The judge found the girls guilty of...didn't really say what...and were forced to pay $900 dollars to the lady.

And I bet you she kept the cookies too!!
