Oh, teh Internets are fun

[livejournal.com profile] adrian_turtle's reply to my Jedi Squirrels post about how American Grey Squirrels are endangering English red squirrels led me to some odd animal-related internet content from our friends at the post office: the Post Office's movers' advice for moving hippopotamuses and a story about how NOT to move a Gorilla.

Do not tell me that postal workers have no sense of humor.

Now I want to move a hippo!

The reason question is, to cross memes, how does one properly move...a badger?

One doesn't.

Well, they didn't think that one UCon mailing ages ago was too funny... ;-)

Oh, you had to go and bring that up!

That wasn't so funny because it was about violence toward postal workers. I wouldn't be very happy about jokes about assaults on my person either.

I still laugh when I think about it. Mostly because I can hear you saying it in your voice. ;-)

Besides, the stereotype was violence by postal workers, so I don't know why they were upset.

The actual wording was "Greet your postal worker enthusiastically!" with a picture of a character *firing* an assault weapon. That's about violence TOWARD postal workers, or my name is Osama Bin Laden.
