Riffing on the "Be like Bill" stick-figure meme that swept social media earlier this year, their sign read:
The picture they used was taken during February's Academy Awards ceremony, during which host Chris Rock unleashed several Girl Scouts into the audience to sell their cookies (to great success, and great publicity).

After the poster popped up on the Girl Scout Cookies' Facebook page over the weekend, it went viral with more than17,000 shares and nearly 60,000 likes.
"We thought the photo was funny and would help make people buy cookies," a representative from the troop told ABC News. "It made people stop at the table to read the sign, and then we were able to ask them to buy cookies. It's hard to say no to a Girl Scout."
Now, those are some seriously smart cookies!
