CAIRO, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- An Egyptian bus driver who tried to fool a drug test by using his wife's urine ended up being told that he's pregnant.

Public Transportation Authority officials said they became suspicious when the male driver's urine test detected a pregnancy and they confronted the man and asked him to verify the sample was his own urine.
