Playing Opossum
A baby opossum must have decided he wanted a soda instead of working out. Sometime you are just too tired to hit the treadmill. The critter climbed up into the soda machine at a Binghamton, NY health club. The club manager found the the baby hanging upside down below the soda dispenser. Someone came with a key to the machine and got Possy out. He was released into a nearby graveyard. I did some research and they should have visited the website www.opossum.org/orphans.htm. In fact, I recommend everyone check this informative site which goes into great detail what to do if you find an orphaned opossum. There is a whole section on how to "stimulate to eliminate" using a warm cotton ball. Who would have thought? P.S. Photo is not the actual opossum found in the machine. He is pretty cute though.
