Humor is a great shelter during the most challenging times, and it explains why the coronavirus pandemic has sparked so many jokes and memes all over the internet.

The Lawrence Police Department has also proved that having a laugh is no crime. In fact, it might be all we really need. Their Twitter account has a staggering 170.7K followers who get updated with practical, humorous advice on living through the virus daily. “Return your TP to the store,” “2 pounds of ground beef is enough,” and “don’t crime” are among the department’s wisdom nuggets. When police are saying “we’ll rock this together, but apart,” they really mean it.

And some stress-relieving endorphins are a big luxury these days. Pandas, don't forget to upvote your favorite tweets! Plus, scroll down below for Bored Panda’s interview with Sergeant and public affairs officer Drew Fennelly, the man behind the viral Twitter account.

    Easy enough to diagnose: cr@p for brains thinks they can profit off of others in a crisis.

    I actually had to explain this to a math professor..who teaches physics. He was tailgating my husband through snow and ice packed roads. We had studded tires, he had all weather tires with four wheel drive. I said "Look, you may have four wheel drive, but you still have the same tires as everyone else and those tired slide on ice when you step on the brakes. And given the fact that we have studded tires which allow us better stopping power, you should really put some distance between you and the car in front of you." He looked at me like I was crazy. He finally apologized and left. I mentioned it to the chair of the math department (who I was friends with.) He said "Yeah..he's not really the kind of man to apply his vast mathematical knowledge to real world situations." He's also horrible at remembering people since I took his statistics class after that encounter and passed with flying colors. LOL.

    I don't know how expensive a DUI is, but compared to the risk, it's not expensive enough. It should be considered attempted murder.

    It's foolish to hoard food that doesn't keep. Unless you have a big freezer - or a large, hungry family - that ground beef will go bad long before you can eat it all.

    Have 4-wheel drive? Great... being able to go doesn't give you the ability to stop.

    I stopped a friend who started saying "I know sober driving is the best, but..." ... But nothing, there is no "but" that really works.

    Not a joke in Texas. For some culture groups it is common to shot off a gun during new years. We have had multiple people hit by stray bullets because of these idiots. It got so bad the last few years, news stations are reminding people of the laws and penalties of discharging in public.

    Life on the road isn't the same as Grand Theft Auto Video games. Grow up if your going to risk driving for real.

    Any weather, day or night, is excellent for not going into a road rage. Keep your cool because Karma is omnipresent and a real b!tch.

    Some people live under the impression that road signs and traffic laws do not apply to them. It's usually the same people that drive trailertrash tractors. Or as Lawrence Police calls them: "Suburbitanks"

    I accidentally went the wrong way down a one way. It was dark and the street lights were dim. I was so embarrassed.
