Reality Check by Dave Whamond for April 17, 2024

One time I was 16 minutes old altogether.

Popemobile

Clown Car

Must be in New York.

It is going to be the 18-wheeler that crushes your troll booth.

Watch out, troll booth. The next three cars are being driven by the Billy Goats Gruff.

Troll, shouldn’t you be UNDER the bridge?! Here, let’s see if we can help you with that!!

Can’t recall the last time there was actually a person taking toll. They went on strike at the Pennsy Turnpike around 2001 and my friend correctly predicted it would soon be automated. Seemed like a terribly boring job until some goofball crashed.

That’s a nice place of employment, pal. Or, as I see it, a box of sadness and despondency. What establishment will your booth be when it finally matures?

I have people tease me about my motorcycle…it’s a smaller Honda…but I am happy with what I ride, so who cares what they say…

i had an ’88 Dodge Omni years ago – that guy would have had a field day with it…

Ha! Jokes on you, this here’s a Smart Car!

So, I’m polymerized tree sap and you’re an inorganic adhesive, so whatever verbal projectile you launch in my direction is reflected off of me, returns to its original trajectory and adheres to you!

It will be an automobile.

i thought trolls turn into stone in sunlight like in the hobbit

They stick him in the booth when he isn’t on pa-troll.

judging from the driver’s hairline, he should about be entering his midlife crisis phase…so his next set of wheels will probly be a vette or similar! Lol!

A bell should ring after you pay your money. After all, “For Whom the Bell Tolls”.

Paid for.

It’s an electric vehicle, and the battery weighs a ton.

Anyone else remember the Yugo …? Here’s part of a parody written by Paul Shanklin …:

Fifty miles to the gallon and their knees on their chests

We’re gonna save enough gas for all the rest

In a Yugo

Then one day on the interstate

They suddenly lose control

They swerve to miss a baby duck

And are squashed beneath a produce truck

But they drove with pride …!

Growing up we called them Toll Trolls.

Usually, you find the trolls under the bridge.

Im putting my ’67 mustang on the road for the first time in 8 years. Bought it when I was 19. Fun stuff.

Someone from Planet Cranky is in the troll booth (see today’s Broomhilda)
