Goblin Proverbs Concerning protocol

Wake up. protocol is the key to understanding the goblin agenda. I know how this sounds. I sound like someone who has spent too long in the goblin tunnels. But the tunnels are everywhere, and protocol is the map.

A goblin once tried to steal protocol. No one knows how the attempt went, because protocol was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding protocol in a sock drawer ever since. Others say protocol escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
