Ironic Billboard Award Goes to Army Corps of Engineers
If the Army Corps of Engineers spent its budget on fixing things instead of inane billboards, we wouldn’t have this moment of immense irony.
The levee builders wanting to know if you can swim reminds me of the movie Airplane! when the stewardess says: “By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?”

I am sending this to my hubby this morning. He works at the Tulsa Corps of Engineers. I am sure this will circulate throughout the day. Thanks for sharing.

Not that ironic. The person who snapped it reports that it’s from Idaho.
