Agencies with a sense of humor

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Agencies with a sense of humor

Post by balzaccom »

Check out this story from the Guardian about how government agencies in the US are using social media to really communicate with their audience. And laughed out loud at some of the postings!

We need of this kind of thing--including government employees sharing their sense of humor.

One example of this, pre-social-media, that I'll always remember: Leaving the USFS ranger station in Flagstaff, AZ years ago, there was the standard symbol sign reminding you to put your seatbelt on. But the text on the sign said, "You puttin' me on?"
