Don't take the Bus!

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.

I have seen those bars along the road in Kenya. Just out in the middle of nothing. I took this picture of a truck that was at one of these bars! TOO much to drink that day! Watch the driver the next time you get on the bus---cause you might end up like one of their trucks or worse yet in a metal hospital. It just might do some of you some good!
