When a government shutdown loomed in 2011, the Twitterverse had some fun with #govtshutdownpickuplines.
They're back!
Here are some of the better, slightly naughty ones we're seeing (we also also checked #shutdownpicklines):
-- " You're all the stimulus I need."
-- " I'm on furlough from the TSA. Want me to wand you?"
-- " Do you work for the government? Because you shut. it. down."
-- " Where have you been sequestered all my life?"
-- " Do you not carry health insurance? Because you've got 'fine' written all over you."
-- " My resolution continues ALL NIGHT."
-- " The IRS is suspending all audit activities. But I'll still check you out."
-- " The only thing nonessential about you are those pants."
There's also some tweeting about about #ifgovernmentshutsdown. Here's one of those:
-- " #ifgovernmentshutsdown then who's going to read my emails before me?"
