Twitter followers in Prince George’s County, Maryland, were baffled on Saturday after a woman posted a picture of a Prince George’s County school bus in Munster, Germany. The tweet quickly began trending among local social media users, even catching the attention of the D.C. City Council:
So, let’s see if I am following this: — if a PG County school bus is in Germany — and zebras are in PG County — then, via the transitive property, it must be Oktoberfest in the grasslands of southeastern Africa https://t.co/BuXh1XSyWh

Saw it in Düsseldorf a couple years ago!
