Sofa, So Good

by F.A. Gerdes

“Police in North Carolina stopped two men who were driving an overstuffed couch—yes, a piece of furniture—on a public road. The men were sitting on the couch, which rested on two rented scooters. Charlotte police said, ‘While we appreciate the creativity … ask yourself: Should this be on a road … ?’”
