What a drunk troll!
Eric's Swedish class had a test last week. Part of this test involved describing pictures in the "what a ___ ____!" like "What a beautiful day!" One of the pictures was a troll, so Eric said what he thought was "what an ugly troll!" the word for ugly in Swedish is "ful" with one L and the Swedish version of a long u. Eric spelled in Full with two Ls and a short vowel. Full means drunk. Eric ended up saying "What a drunk troll!" His teacher was nice enough not to mark him off, but this leaves us with a nice little moral: Spelling can be important.

"What a... MALE BABBOON!"
Or in Swedish:
"Vilken... Manlig Babian"
Did the troll look drunk? I bet it takes a lot of liquor to get a troll drunk.
I've heard that, surprisingly, trolls are light-weights
