In 1997 the following article ran in the South African newspaper,
Harare, Zimbabwe-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. 20 people got on and then he 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.
Some people learned the hard way
Over in the country of Zimbabwe
A taxi driver offered rides for free
The destination was hidden you see
So they enjoyed their free taxi ride
Amazed at how easy it was supplied
Where they were going the driver did not explain
Free rides to the hospital of the insane
Their free ride led them right to a trap
A place of confinement not on their map
Wanting no cost and wanting no pain
Caused these people to not use their brain
Here today "free" seems to be the goal
Content with crumbs but giving up control
So history repeats, it's nothing new
When something sounds too good to be true
