SQUIRREL SCURRIES ACROSS THE COURT DURING US OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

NUTS ANYONE? 

Squirrel makes unannounced yearly appearance during US tennis open championships.

The most suicidal of moves has shot the squirrel to stardom

Furry friend seems to make a yearly appearance at the championship

Completely unrelated:

When writing Nuts anyone? on this post it just occurred to me to find out where does the expression Tennis anyone? come from. 

And here are the possible answers.  Nothing certain except that Humphrey Boggart is in the middle of it: 

Humphrey Boggart may have stated: 

“I used to play juveniles on Broadway and came bouncing into drawing rooms with a tennis racket under my arm and the line: “Tennis anybody?” It was a stage trick to get some of the characters off the set so the plot could continue. Now when they want some characters out of the way I come in with a gun and bump ‘em off.”

There are other versions of Boggart's own statements, and you can read them here:
