No good deed goes unpunished

I don't know how I could have possibly missed this story from earlier this year, but I did. Colorado Teens Fined $900 For Giving Cookies To Neighbor

How I came across this was a little odd: I was using Google Suggest, which is a version of Google that offers suggestions as you type in search terms. I typed in "surprising" and hit ENTER without noticing that Google Suggest autofilled in "surprising a neighbor with cookies will cost two girls 900".

In the same vein is this story from earlier this summer: Man Arrested After Rescuing Swimmer

Moral of the story? Let 'em drown, that way you'll have more cookies for yourself.
