18 DC VELOCITY FEBRUARY 2020

Parcel delivery drivers may have put in long hours
over the peak holiday season, but judging by the
reaction to one driver’s recent tweet about goats
climbing aboard his truck, they haven’t lost their
sense of humor.
In mid-December, a woman posted a photograph of her father’s UPS truck laden with stacks
of packages and two curious goats, one of which had actually made its way into
the truck. The Dec. 18 Twitter post was captioned simply: “My dad is a UPS
driver in rural North Dakota & today he sent me these photos with no context.”
This is not the first time that “Big Brown” has made a social media splash with
photos of cute animals greeting its delivery trucks. The popular “UPS Dogs”
Instagram and Facebook accounts have attracted hundreds of thousands of
followers since their launch in 2013. However, while the dog pictures generally
inspire “likes” and “shares,” the recent goat photos sparked clever one-liners like
the following (warning—terrible puns ahead):
; “Reporting for work at Ewe PS.”
; “You’ve obviously goat mail.”
; “It’s the goats of Christmas present.”
; “Where are our packages, sir?
“They’re in the baa-aaa-aack.” ;
