Thanks for the link, Charley. I just signed up.

Here's something odd, and supposedly true:

"Bus Driver Replaces Mental Patients"
(in a South African newspaper)

HARARE, Zimbabwe (04-04) - 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 discover 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.
