While it is ubiquitous to see bicycles strapped to cars, patrol officers in Wisconsin, US were left aghast after they saw a snowmobile strapped atop a car. A photograph of the vehicle was shared on Facebook by Wisconsin Department of transportation which warned people to not try the stunt at home. In their post, they also revealed that the car was stopped on US Route 63 which connects the eastern part of the nation. As per the post, the vehicle was stopped by Wisconsin State Patrol in Polk County of the state as it was not a “safe way” to transport a snowmobile. “If you’re transporting equipment this winter, you are advised to safely haul it secured on a trailer or in a truck,” the department wrote.

Just a few days ago, a video showing a Ravana effigy being carried atop an ambulance left the internet in chuckles. The video was shared by Odisha based Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda, who, in the caption joked, “Ravana going in Ambulance to COVID Hospital....”.  His point was doubled up by Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Awanish Sharan, who further shared the clip with the caption, "Ravana tested Covid positive."

The six-second long video clip shows the multicolour Ravana effigy tied atop an ambulance. As the clip progresses, one could see the emergency vehicle moving in full speed rushing towards its destination. With the festival of Dussehra to be celebrated tomorrow, that is October 25, one can guess that the effigy must be on its way to a burning ground. The video has not only left people amused but also wondering if anyone was safe from COVID-19 at all?
