Possums stink. They are beneficial animals, but they are only eaten
out of desperation. Coons are not as nasty as possums, and are kind
of dangerous.
Neither are very good to eat. I believed that George had eaten such
creatures, though his story about the rabbit chow calls that into
question too. A month's worth of rabbit chow would cost more than any
possum could be worth. I don't believe that any of you want to eat
possum, coon or armadillo. Same for nutria. I don't even like wild
duck. Same goes for city pigeons and squirrels.

What I wonder is whether chickens that are fed hot chilies, end up
laying eggs, the yolks of which contain capsaicin. Interestingly,
according to Wikipedia, "Consumption of red chilis after anal fissure
surgery should be forbidden to avoid postoperative symptoms."

Duh.

"Well, suture my asshole and feed me chilies," would be a good faux
homespun reply to a surprising revelation.
