Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones ate an entire sleeve of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies during a 30 minute conference call yesterday, sources said.
“Right, yes, take a look at these amendments to the proposed fiscal twenty-ten budget and we can see that nom, nom, nom,” the may
or said, crunching on three of the mint-flavored chocolate wafers, the most popular variety of Girl Scout cookie. By the end of the call, advisers to the mayor said he had consumed “each and every” Thin Mint, sales of which comprise one-quarter of all cookie-based revenue to the youth organization.
“Hoo, man, a little full. Whoo boy,” the mayor said, patting his belly after the rather swift gorging of cookies.
However, this is not the first time Jones has been caught overindulging during a meeting.
In December, the mayor was openly criticized by a co-worker for voraciously consuming a tray of shrimp cocktail during discussion of bringing a baseball team to Richmond. Observers said Jones was unable to devise a clever comeback until later in the day after the colleague made a snide remark to the mayor that, “the ocean called, and they’re running out of shrimp.”
