Fine Figure of a Man
Member
I had forgotten until it was brought up last night at a Halloween party. About a dozen years ago a neighbor and I were sitting by a fire ring with his sister in law and her friend. Both of the gals are from the Chicago area and very much city girls. A large possum (in Iowa we usually drop the O) walked up to the fire ring. I picked up the steel fire poker, clubbed it in the head and plopped it on top of the fire. The city girls, both in their 30's at the time, screamed and ran to the house. A few minutes later my neighbors wife came out of the house with the city girls trying to hide behind her as they approached.
I thought it was just good clean fun. Must have made quite an impression on the girls, it was they who brought up the story at the party.
