Why is a possum called an opossum?
Two boys were walking in the woods, and they saw a small animal in the distance.
"Hey, look, a porcupine!"
"No, porcupines have those pointy things on their backs."
"Maybe it's a raccoon."
No, raccoons have those black lines around their eyes."
"Oh! Possum!"
when we was (were) kids," Opossum, Opossum, Opossum". was a Lie Detector.
If you made a statement and someone challenged you, you would put you right
hand on the challengers chest, look him in the eye, and say, "Opossum, opossum, opossum".
and if you smiled, it was a lie.
