I went to Trader Joe's for lunch today and was accosted by charity ne'er do wells. they put on the most aggressive pitch I've ever heard. Buy a crappy mug for $10, or a VHS copy of "Arthur" for $5, and money helps fingerprint children so we can recognize their remains.
The problem, by buying the mug or the VHS copy of "Arthur" (perhaps the most worthless piece of carbon in the DC area) I lose the donation tax credit.
If I had known, I would have gone to McDonalds and had a McKidlet sandwish with extra DNA samples.
