I recently found this item from Fox News.com. Brent Baier reported it last July but the message still resonates:
"The Treasury Department has decided that it no longer needs a humor specialist for its Bureau of Public Debt. The department had been advertising the position for about a week, but announced this morning the job was no longer required. The original post called for an individual to conduct seminars teaching participants how to use humor to improve communication and relationships, alleviate stress, and prevent burnout.
Applicants were advised they would be required to create cartoons on the spot about jobs in the Bureau of Public Debt. The Senate Democratic Policy Committee Chairman Byron Dorgan, the Democratic Senator from North Dakota, squashed the effort saying: "Of all the agencies, the Bureau of Public Debt should know that there is very little that is funny about today's economic conditions."
No comment from me. I'm trying to imagine those impromptu cartoons.

Wow, that's amazing. Plus I would think if they did want to put humor into it they would just hire professional comedians. Can you imagine how hard it would be to teach people to have a sense of humor ?
