Monkeys are Man’s Best Friend? [WTF Friday]

By Emma

We’ve all wanted a pet monkey at one point in our lives. Some of us grew out of it after being scarred in anthro class (there are some violent crazy monkeys out there, y’all… and I can identify them by their skulls), but maybe some of you are still clinging on to the one-day legalization of this cuddle pal. You go girl.

However, don’t expect this critter to be your new wingman at the bars. A man in Augusta, Georgia was discovered to be half naked and drunk after an apparent night “partying” with two uncaged monkeys. Lab employees gone wild! Coley Oneal Mitchell is currently being charged with public drunkenness at Richmond County Jail. What happened to “what happens in the lab, stays in the lab”, guys?!

If you want to know more about poor Coley, Raw Story has got the, err, story… It should only be a matter of time now before every monkey in North America is making signs reading “Free Coley! He’s got the beer!” This will never not be funny.
