Today I was riding a bus into the city on my way home from the dentist (who, incidentally, is fixing five of my teeth with his new no drill, no needle tooth fixing machine for only $250 including 2 X-rays) and I heard on the bus driver radio an announcement for all drivers to look out for a certain person. This certain person was a patient of mine last year and is a certified nutcase. Truly. Mad as a meat axe. Funnily enough, out of all the buses in Sydney (there are quite a number of them you know), my bus happened to find said person. How about that?! The bus driver honked at him and he clambered on to the bus and had a heated discussion about why the bus depot was looking for him because he'd "been really well good today!". Haha. Anyway, he stayed on for two stops then got off after borrowing money from the bus driver to call the bus depot to report his whereabouts.

I stayed on til the end of the route and asked the driver what was going on... he wasn't sure either. Often young drivers send help calls out when this guy gets on the bus and causes trouble but they've never sent out a message for the drivers to find him before. Very odd.
