Not since @2011census have we seen a government organisation’s Twitter account with a pun game that’s as on point as @QPSmedia‘s is right now.
You’d be forgiven for assuming the official feed for the Queensland Police and content therein would have the entertainment value of a piece of stale bread, but between the requisite stream of traffic updates and crime reporting is a bevy of life tips and constabulary advice that is teeming with puns and peppered with adorably facepalm-ish dad jokes.
To whomever is manning this arresting account, we salute you. Here are some of the latest slices of LOL/win from the voices of @QPSmedia:

There seems to be a tractor or some kind farm machinery in the middle of Stanmore Rd, Yatala. Old Macdonald may be very lost. Take care.
