How does she compare with Howard the Jamaican van driver?

To explain to non-attendees, the "cookie lady" was this little old lady who would bring a bag of Big Cedar Lodge ginger snaps to your room every evening, IF you believed in her. I guess they were good cookies, if you like ginger snaps.

Condello never got any cookies. I accused him of not believing in the cookie lady and asked if he believed in the tooth fairy. He said he only believed in the tooth fairy because he gets a commission.

OTOH, EVERYONE in the Arlington shuttle believed in Howard, just not in his ability to drive well.
