Charlee: “You’re not seriously going to go talk to that troll, are you?”
Lulu: “Sure, why wouldn’t I?”
Charlee: “Well for one thing its arms are like ten feet long and they end in giant hands with great big claws.”
Chaplin: “Pfft. Going around with its claws out all the time? Can’t even retract them? What an amateur?”
Lulu: “Ooh, yeah, you’re right. I bet it gives excellent belly rubs.”
Spicoli: “There’s got to be some kind of happy medium between Dennis-style scaredy-catness and whackadoo bravado …”
Troll: “I would like to purchase your green bin.”
Lulu: “Great! So the bin is full of fresh grass that our harvested just the other day with—”
Troll: “I don’t want the contents. I just want the bin. I already have a buyer lined up.”
Chaplin: “A buyer?”
Troll: “Yes, I specialize in flipping properties, and it’s a hot market right now.”
Charlee: “It’s a hot market for green waste bins?”
Troll: “Green waste bins, recycling bins, even those old-school metal trash cans. So what do you want for that one? Name your price.”
Spicoli: “Dude, think carefully before you answer that question—”
Lulu: “I’d like a belly rub!”
Lulu: “My kitty friends would probably like belly rubs too.”
Troll: “You drive a hard bargain.”
Charlee: “That’s a hard pass from us, thanks.”
A few minutes later …
Spicoli: “Dude. Come on. You’re never going to get rich quick asking for payment in belly rubs.”
Lulu: “At least we’re not the ones who have to try to unload an empty green waste container.”
Troll: “As you can see, it includes all the latest amenities. But you’d better act fast, I already have five offers on it.”
Oscar the Grouch: “Fine, I’ll take it.”

Be careful what you wish for (and bargain for), Lu. Belly rubs from that guy would be more like sloppy field surgery!

Next bin you have, guys, sell it yourselves – eliminate the middleman. Let him go into Spa business and give massages.

Personally, I’d rather make a bargain with the cookie monster…but, that’s being human.

We do enjoy a good belly rub, but we think we would pass on a troll rubdown:)
