Hey…19! left…
19 is just too . . . odd a number.
<Thank you>
18 is much better.
I’m I here in time for the cookies? whew
swipes a cookie from the plate
Sorry you only have 17 cookies left.
My daughter’s glucose is low. Now they’re emergency cookies.

WHO took the cookie from the cookie jar?
Not me!
Ok…me!

Sir, I work for the Attorney General. We’ve received a complaint from the GSUSA; that’s Girl Scouts of the United States of America to you sir. They report that you’re engaging in unfair trade practices by offering free cookies to the general public.
I’m going to have to take one of these back to the office as evidence. Should we decide to prosecute. Oh, and that man there? He’s from Internal Revenue Services. Come to make sure that you weren’t making any profit here. He’ll need one too. It’s best not to upset those folks. Good day sir!
14 cookies left.
I don’t think you counted that right, there should actually be 13 left.
I fear thirteen, so I must take one. (12)
Health inspector! Nobody move!

We’ll be in touch.

11 is such an unattractive number for baking (though okay if you’re into primes). Let me help you out.

Oh, and have you tithed yet? 10% of everything, off the top.
(9)
(If I’d gotten here sooner, I’d have 9.9 cookies! Dammit!)
Now isn’t that a nice, symmetrical, and pretty number on the plate?
Not particularly. Multiples of 3 are nearly as bad as 5’s. The only time you can divide a number by multiples of 3 is if that number is a multiple of 3 as well.
<swipe> 8 left. Now that is a great number. But 7 is better. <swipe>
you STILL got some?
maybe one more…

That wasn’t me, that was the IRS guy. They can’t do math.
I see, it was a tax return! So back up to 5 cookies…errr, 4 again. I got hungry doing all the math.
Whew…I started sweating things as the thread progressed. Wasn’t sure if I was getting mine!
Bu I gof my coogie now – fanks!
