Yesterday, I saw a dead possum in the road on my way home from work.
Are you sure it wasn't palying dead?
Oh, no I'm sure he was dead. Made me think of all the times I had to nab up all that sweet, savory roadkill a few years back to fill up my empty stomach. Times were tough.
Eww, what the heck! I guess you really were at a bad place at the time.
