Two bums are walking along the side of a road early one morning, complaining about their empty stomachs. The night before, they had spent every dime they had on whiskey, so naturally they had no money for breakfast.

By and by, they come upon a flattened possum lying dead on the roadside.

The first bum says, "I'll split it with ya."

The second politely refuses, so the first bum eats the entire thing by himself.

An hour later, as they are walking, the first bum starts turning green. He gags for a few minutes and then spews the possum remains all over the road.

The second bum smiles and says, "I knew if I waited long enough I'd get a hot meal."
