So That's Where my Hazelnuts Went!

larry, you got that right!

One night my Labrador retriever and I opened the door to the second story deck to have a smoke.  Actually I was going to smoke Susie-Q the lab was going to bop down to the yard and engage in canine activities.  The instant the door was opened Susie-Q burst out in pursuit of an O'possum which had come onto the deck to steal dog food.  The frightened possum ran through the still open door and into the den where the stereo is located.  The possum was acting very strangely.  When I rapped it on the head with a yard stick it behaved very like an insane possum by hisssing and snapping at the yard stick.  Long story short Mr. possum ended up hiding in the bass horn of a Klipschorn.  I tried playing the conclusion of Saint-Saen's organ symphony very loudly.  No luck.  After trying several different bass heavy selections at outrageous volumes what finally did the trick was Herbie Hancock's Future Shock played at ear bleeding volume.  Once the possum emerged I used a leaf rake my wife had brought to me to sweep the possum out the door and onto the deck where he promptly jumped off the deck onto concrete twelve below. 
If you are ever selecting music to entertain O'possums it would probably be best to avoid Herbie Hancock.

I wonder about the efficacy in these situations of playing Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture at a very high volume.  Perhaps the incumbent will come shooting out of the speaker...

Come to think of it I did have the Telarc 1812.  I should have thought of it.  If I ever suffer another audio/O'possum crisis I will keep that in mind.
