That one was a real shoot house someone had on the old club I was in. We left a note on it one day that said "Full. Needs Dumping".
 
Two muffins are sitting in an oven. The first muffin turns to the second muffin and says, "I can't take it anymore! It's super hot in here. This heat is outrageous!"

The second muffin says, "Wow! I don't believe it! A talking muffin!" ;)

This is literally my wife's favorite joke. She can still tell it and nearly come to tears laughing that hard. She acknowledges it's so stupid but can't help cracking up for some reason.

My wife has a coworker who actually has several "pet" possums. He hand feeds them and they hang around his yard a lot like Dan Infalt's raccoons. Not me brother. I'm personally not a fan of possums, they get the same fate as coyotes around me.

I like having a few around the house. They eat an untold amount of ticks each summer plus cleaning up any kitchen waste we put out. I think they also eat snakes. Anything that will vacuum up ticks from my yard and keep me from possibly contracting Lyme Disease or Alpha gal allergy gets a pass.

They eat turkey eggs. Sevin dust and sawyers will keep the ticks at bay. Possums get their tails cut off right behind their ears.

Considering how uncooperative the turkeys have been the last two years around here, the possums have more general utility for me that turkeys at this point. I hunted around 25 days and heard 2 gobblers...shot zero for the second year in a row. And before you say if we get rid of possums the turkeys will come back, we don't have a lack of turkeys...we have a lack of GOBBLING turkeys. They are there, you just have to hunt them like deer, and I have zero interest in that. They are just silent. Maybe the possums got their tongues, lol. The possums are earning their keep. If the turkeys start earning their keep I might change my mind.

Debunking the Myth: Opossums Don’t Eat Ticks

<p>Researchers have debunked a popular meme about Virginia opossums eating ticks. Careful analysis of opossum stomach contents (yes, the work of some researchers!) revealed many items, including worms, a French fry, broken glass and a shrew…but no ticks.</p>

My wife swears by this myth, and I never thought it made much sense. They might eat one occasionally, but they would have to consume hundreds if not more to fill their bellies. I doubt that happens often.
