The only thing that's dorkier than wearing a Girl Scout Leader uniform

is putting on your brand-new Girl Scout Leader uniform and walking to the meeting--in full view of the neighbors and the entire population of your children's school--only to find out that the other leaders canceled the meeting. And there was no real reason for you to look that stupid.

In other words, pity me, because this is what I was wearing today:

ADULT NAVY TWIN SET-CARDIGAN AND SHELL-OFFICIAL
Official Adult Cardigan and Shell sweater set. You can shoplift like crazy go almost anywhere is this hugely oversized, completely baggy easy-to-wear twin set. The navy twin set has a jewel neck cardigan and sleevless [sic] shell, gold buttons down the front with the words "I look like shit" "Girl Scouts" embroidered in gold. Made of soft cotton/polyester jersey. Machine washable. Produced by some poor starving child and Imported from the developing countries you do-goody volunteer ladies claim to want to help.

Do you think that making me wear this twinset was some kind of Girl Scout passive-aggression? You know, like the way they're always planting adorable cookie-peddling cherubs in front of the grocery store at 5:30 p.m. when you're starving and are on your third day of the South Beach Diet?

But if there's Girl Scout Passive-Aggressive, there must be Girl Scout Aggressive-Aggressive. Otherwise it's just a theory. An intriguing one, I admit, but still--just a theory. Is there cruel and unusual punishment, Girl Scout style?

Oh, yeah.

It's this:
