Them possums be wearing kevlar. Just chuck a rock at a possum. Or, if you gots a big rock, chuck the possum at the rock. Possum be good eatin’. Fry him up with some taters. Use the tail for a toothpick. I use a box of Possum Helper for a real treat. Possum a real tricky citter. Sometime, you go to shoot a possum and you flash a light up in a tree and you ask “Possum? Is that you?” And he answer “Nope. Just a owl”. They can even disgise...disgeyes....change they voice.
That is not where the "tooth pick" comes from.
