ATTACK OF THE COOKIE MONSTER

"C" is for cookie. "A" is for assault:
Fla. woman charged with assault after roommate nabbed Thin Mints

Police arrested a Florida woman after she allegedly chased her roommate with a pair of scissors, struck her with a board, bit her, and hit her with a sign. The dispute was over Girl Scout cookies.

It is the season for the sale of Girl Scout cookies and Thin Mints are the bestsellers. At least one fan of the tasty treats did not let their nabbing by a roommate go without consequences.

Hersha Howard, of Collier County, was arrested Sunday after being charged "with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon," reports msnbc.com.

What preceded the arrest involved a hungry Howard wanting to eat her Thin Mint cookies. Upon finding that they were gone, Howard reportedly barged into her roommate's room and accused Jasmin Wanke of theft. Wanke told Howard that she had given the cookies to Howard's children.

Wanke offered to pay Howard $10 for the cookies, which generally cost $3.50 per box, but that did not satisfy Howard and the fight began.

I don't endorse assault... normally. But we're talking about Thin Mints here. The greatest Girl Scout cookies ever. Throw in an icy cold glass of milk and I'm in heaven. If those had been my Thin Mints, I'd have sent Bullet-Tooth Tony after her ass.

It's Florida. We do that stuff all the time. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to call 911. Burger King messed up my order.

Mikey,
Just remember the Golden Rule: "They fuck you at the drive-thru!"

I'm trying to imagine the menu at the drive-thru where you can get laid. Not sure if I want to be an employee or a customer there.

Carmen,
Sadly, they'd probably still get your order wrong.
