One-way Tickets To Alcatraz


Alcatraz Island
Famous Alcatraz Island

A couple with three children waited in line at San Francisco’s Pier 41 to buy tickets for a visit to Alcatraz.

Others watched with varying degrees of sympathy and irritation as the young children fidgeted, whined, and punched one another.

The frazzled parents reprimanded them to no avail.

Finally they reached the ticket window.

“Five tickets, please,” the father said.

“Two round trip, three one way.”
