After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus
driver
found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting
from
Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his
incompetence, the
driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there
a free
ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital,
telling the
staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre
fantasies.
The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
