Two Irishmen, IRA members, decided to ambush and kill the local policeman (as one does). They found a spot overlooking the road and waited for him to come cycling past on his way home. Time passed. The policeman did not appear. Darkness started to fall.

The big brushtail possum is a bit like that.
No sign of him for days.
Hope he's ok. Sort of.
