Monkey Files Discrimination Suit Against U.S. Open

On the heels of an announcement that a terrier named Linus would be the first dog to serve as ball boy for the U.S. Open tennis tournament, a monkey named Carl has filed a lawsuit against the USTA for discrimination. Carl’s lawyer, Jerry Yung, claims the monkey’s application for the position of ball boy was rejected due to lack of experience.

“Carl has been fetching tennis balls for nearly four years,” Yung told the press on Sunday. “I think we all know what ‘not enough experience’ means in this context. It means monkeys need not apply.”

Dog Enjoys First Brunch

Dog Enjoys First Brunch

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Special Correspondent

Ferdinand had always heard about “brunching.” As a city pup, he would hear stories about the amazing meal that was somehow eaten between breakfast and lunch. 

“He was fascinated by the idea of a single meal that could be eaten between 10 and 3,” says Flip Saunders, a friend. “Like, is that breakfast, or would it be lunch? He really had to experience it for himself.”

And that he did. Citing several reliable sources, The Fluffington Post can now confirm that Ferdinand brunched last Sunday at Café du Monde, a cute French place that just opened. 

“He went all out,” says Saunders. “Eggs Benedict, blueberry pancakes, biscuits and gravy – and mimosas. So many mimosas. Non-alcoholic, of course.”

By all indications, Ferdinand was thoroughly impressed with the meal. He even took to Yelp later that day to pen a four-star review.

“I helped him write it,” says Saunders. “We were both on the same page, though. It was pretty much the best brunch ever.”

Guinea Pig Roommates Share Food, Hats

We already know that hats are en vogue for cats, but guinea pigs are not to be outdone. New York City piggies Mischka and Leela share an apartment, but they also like the same foods and fashions. Though they can only afford one fez, they alternate days wearing it.

“Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll see Leela wearing it,” says Clyde Tilman, who lives in the apartment below. “Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, it’s Mischka. Sundays are always up for grabs though.”
