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 in the queue a free ride.
He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital,
telling staff that the patients were very excitable and prone
to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
