"Swedish post horn" sounds like it should mean something

Arago: People, Postage & the Post is the online database of the National Postal Museum. It has lots and lots of lovely things. Some examples are a high quality scan of an 18th Century envelope, a sampling of comic strips featuring mail carriers, a collection of stamps on the theme of map projection and a Swedish post horn.
I, on the other hand, used to work in the same building as the Postal Museum. Amazing place--imagine me, new to DC, first professional job out of school, walking into that building for the first time. Plus, there's a brew pub and an actual working post office, which is now where I go to pick up packages, since I live nearby.

Damn. Didn't see the poster beat me to the joke.

Thanks, kattullus! I love the national postal museum and haven't been in a few years.

As someone who’s been enchanted with stamps—this is so cool!

Thanks, Bardic, I guess my normally well-honed pun-detecting skills were asleep. I literally slapped my forehead.
