My father,75 years of age,and of southern Italian origin,(although, unlike my late grandfather not a member of the Calabrian Mafia) was out in the back yard shed/ammo factory at around midnight cleaning and polishing his latest shotgun purchase(he now owns 5 shotguns and one rifle in total) when a possum made the mistake of heading for my fathers veggie patch for a bit of a late night snack.I dont need to tell you what happened next,but i will tell you that the possum went away hungry at a very rapid rate,and was very very lucky that my father's night vision is not what it used to be!
