    Who pronounces the ‘O’ in Opossum anymore? It’s just Possum now.

    It was 20 years after the moon landing that somebody figured out to put wheels on luggage.

    It was another 20 years until somebody figured out to put 4 wheels on luggage.

    So the possum was taking the train, enjoying his trip through the Netherlands, when he noticed the train was a runaway! Certain of death the possum passed out not noticing everyone goes the train car due to his coup odor. Mr. possum woke up alone, perched me n top of a whale tail, and noticed out the window an emergency worker dressed in hazmat suit walking away with his new wheeled luggage.

    The moon landing predates a whole lotta stuff! You would think in the past 52 years, mankind would have done something else to talk about. People still talk about it like it happened last year.

    That explains the aroma of `possum stew.

    ‘One small step for man, one giant leap for skycaps.’

    That is one whale of a tale.

    Seeing as how many predators are not above making a meal out of carrion, that little “pass out and stink” trick wouldn’t work…

    Too many clever comments above. I’m not going to say anything. Except for that. And..

    Take care, may the gboard be with you, and gesundheit.

    The hognose snake is another animal that plays dead. It even opens its mouth and hangs its tongue out.

    Possum’s are great. Their innards taste even better the next day.

    Well, at least Graziano allows comments. Why the hell Brooke McEldowny won’t with 9 Chickweed Lane still remains a mystery to me. I welcome any ideas.
