Oh, the trampling. Don't do that. Especially in Texas. You'll probably get shot, too.

I got 100% on my final English essay. I don't know how, but I did it.
Gosh, it's up to me? Ok. Hmmm, I'm gonna have to say it's a tie.
I just saw a television commercial for a credit checking website that showed a woman driving a pickup truck that had been swept up in a twister. As she was speaking to the camera, her elbow on the window frame, there was a caption below that said, "Do not attempt."
Dog has been barking at the wall of my house.
So I pulled off a piece of siding, and there was a opossum living in the wall of my house.
It shredded my insulation, brought a bunch of trash along with it, and looked to be chewing on my water pipes.
I wanted to use my .22, but so close to the plumbing I had to use my BB gun. Ten shots, done, and put it in my trash can.
A few days later, dog starts barking at the same spot. I pull off the temporary aluminum foil patch, and there is another opossum living in my wall. I shot it once in the head with my BB gun, and it ran away. I can't find it. I am afraid it will die slowly in my wall somewhere. I do not like this, and I don't want a one-eyed opossum to haunt me forever.

Similar, but a raccoon. Shot it over and over and over and over and over and over again. It finally got the message.
Before that... a raccoon fell through the ceiling into our bedroom. It gave me a story, but not a happy memory.
Yeah, that's the one.
I do not want opossums falling through my ceiling! Ugh. Can't sleep tonight.
The opossum came back out where I could see it. I put two more BBs in it before it ran away again. I think it is behind my bathtub. If it dies in there, I know where to find it.
I feel bad for the opossum, but ... Please don't come at me in my sleep. I tried to make it quick, but I guess I failed. I just can't have you tearing up my walls and plumbing, and driving the dogs crazy. At least I kept the dogs back. The cattle dog would torture you to death, slowly tearing out your insides in little bits.

Congrats! Was it about eradication of intruder opossums?

Make sure you double bag and have a tight knot or your can will be full of the little white worms.
