Ask Doodle The Ethicist

Dear Doodle,

Is it appropriate for me to buy this Girl Scout ring on eBay and tell everyone that I earned it even if I never made the Scouts because I was kicked out of Brownies for lack of interest/attendance?

Sincerely,

Anne

Dear Anne,

You're like me. You have a wild streak, and authority gets your feathers up. Does it give you the right to sport a Girl Scout ring and pass it off as your own? Who knows. I gotta go take a dump.
