   Interestingly enough, one of my Uncle's posted a question on Facebook   
   yesterday asking about places in his area that might be preparing Thanksgiving   
   meals for pick-up.   
      
   A friend of his offered a photo of an alternative meat dish instead of ham or   
   Turkey.     
      
   In typical Redneck fashion, it was of a smoked oppossum with stuffing.  It   
   struck me as an odd cooincidence as that particular animal is common around   
   here getting into walls and chimneys.   
       
   I won't attach the photo or link because it is kind of disgusting to look at.   
   And personally, the meat is a bit greasy for my taste.

   You would be surprised at small creatures ingenuity for getting into places   
   that you don't want them to.
