Gruffness

When leaving our house by car, we must cross at least one bridge. When driving to the highway, we pass two to three on a short stretch alone. Despite this, I have yet to see even one troll in all the months we've lived here.

I surmise this is because we do not present a threat to the trolls. That, or they wisely choose to stay well out of the way of my speed-demon wife. They might also be glued to their computers, hunt-n-pecking away at their usenet posts. (How they get access under a bridge is beyond my comprehension.) It might be a mix of the three, but I'm also certain that there's another factor. We do not present a threat because we are not goats. Not only are we not goats, but I've never seen a goat trip-trop-trapping across a bridge, whatever trip-trop-trapping is.

And why is this?

Well, it's quite simple--the goats are all chained to tires in my neighbors' yards.

Trolls aren't stupid, baby! They've got wireless internet on their laptops.

Perhaps you should seek one out and ask. Perhaps they only charge tolls on the high speed onramps to the internet superhighway. Could be the answer to your high-speed access prayers...
