HARARE, Zimbabwe (06-12-97) - After 20 mental patients disappeared
~from his bus, the driver replaced them with sane citizens and delivered
them to a mental hospital.

The unidentified bus driver was transporting 20 mental patients from the
capital city of Harare to Bulawayo Mental Hospital when he decided to
stop for a few drinks at an illegal roadside liquor store. Upon his
return he was shocked to discovered that all the mental patients had
escaped. Desperate for a solution, the driver stopped at the next bus
stop and offered free bus rides to several people. He then delivered
them to the mental hospital and informed the staff they were easily
excitable.

It took the medical personnel three days to uncover the foul play. The
real mental patients are still at large.
