Roadkill Resuscitation Unsuccessful!
– – Happy April Fool’s Day, but I swear that I am not making this up, and hope that you are not eating: State police have charged a central Pennsylvania man with public drunkenness after he was seen giving mouth-to-mouth “resuscitation” to a long-dead opossum along a highway…
The incident occurred in Oliver Township about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. The 55-year-old man was seen by one person kneeling before the deceased animal and gesturing as though he were conducting a seance, while another saw the mouth-to-mouth attempt. It’s not that this publication doesn’t appreciate the effort to save viable animals, but this was an ex-possum…
Possibly he was then planning to fit the opossum with sunglasses in hopes of pursuing some “Weekend at Bernie’s” action…

Are they really sure it was dead? It might only have been “playing ‘possum.”

On a lighter note: have you ever stopped to consider how an inner-city kid might react upon attending one of those rural sleep-away camps, and seeing an opposum for the first time?
“Holy crap! And, I thought the rats in _my_ neighborhood were freaking big!”
