Read My Lips - the blog

Feb. 13 [shudder], 2004

Here's a quickie for ya'll before I go crawl back under the bed:

A couple with three children waited in line at San Francisco's Pier 41 to purchase tickets for a boat trip 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."

Thanks to George* for this one.
