Otter Votes, Takes Rest of the Day Off
Sam, a local sea otter, decided to blow the rest of the work day off after doing his civic duty and voting on Tuesday morning.
“He called the office saying he had a sprained ankle,” says Kelly Philip, the greeter at Linens N’ Things where Sam works as a sales associate. “But he didn’t sound hurt to me.”

Dog Sued for Libel Over Misleading Sign
A neighborhood dog named Duke has been served a libel suit over what the plaintiff is calling “misleading signage.”
“The sign says ‘Beware of Dog,’ but that’s basically a lie,” says Maureen Phinster, the resident who brought the lawsuit. “Duke is a real sweetheart, there’s nothing to be afraid of. So why put up a sign like that? It’s just confusing people.”
But attorneys for Duke claim that this is a free speech issue. “My client can put up whatever sign he wants,” says George McCallister, Esq. “’Free Cha-Cha Lessons,’ for example. It doesn’t mean he has to deliver. It’s his property, and he can do what he likes.”
The hearing is scheduled for November 19th.
