Well, if you've ever had a possum hiss at you unexpectedly, you'd kill it with a shovel, too.

Which reminds me of my brother's possum story. He was traveling on the interstate from Louisiana to Kentucky. In Mississippi, he hit a possum on the highway. It completely destroyed his oilpan as possums jump straight up when frightened. He had to sit on the side of the road two hours before a State Trooper pulled up to help.

He hates 'em.

Well, that would piss me off too.

Why? Opossum's are pretty much the most inoffensive wild animal that visits our homes. They don't bite. They don't attack dogs and cats. They just walk around, mostly at night. Harmless critters.

Worked with a woman originally from TN. Out on a date with her first real boyfriend. Sees dead opossum in the road.
He stops, throws in the back. "Dinner tomorrow". End of first real boyfriend.

It wasn't the State Troopers fault.
