Darn, Glen, you have all the luck. When I bought my Bugeye in Wichita, KS, in
1992, it came w/ a possum. I guess opossum is more correct. Anyhow, the
critter
refused to leave his happy home and I finally had to call the local animal
control to get the animal to unass the Bugeye. No pennies but some possum
doo-doo and the aforementioned possum. (A note to the fans of furry things--the
animal control officer lassoed Bill, the possum, and took him to his truck. The
wily possum then escaped the noose and headed for the woods.) All's well that
ends well.
