Infinite MonkeysWalking into a market this evening I am greeted by a Boy Scout troop doing a fundraiser, offering to dispose of your Christmas trees.
Christmas tree, the Boy Scout kid says.
Followed by his saying "Happy Holidays."
Kid. You're a Boy Scout troop. You're offering a Christmas tree pick-up service.
It's okay to say "Merry Christmas."
Honestly.

I know this is going to sound funny coming from me, but it's not ALWAYS a conspiracy.
At least not the one you're expecting...
