Travel Agent

I was walking past a travel agent's office recently. (I didn't even know they existed any more--doesn't everyone order tickets over the internet?)

In the window was listed the price of one-way and round-trip tickets to various places. The one-way ticket to San Francisco was $82. The round-trip ticket was $186. Does this make any sense?

I'm reminded of a joke that's not closely related. A guy goes to buy a round-trip ticket. The travel agent asks "to where?" He replies, with some surprise "to here."

Columbus Guy says: Careful, LAGuy, or you'll get drummed out of the Reason Institution.

Someone wants to give an incentive to anyone who would think about living in San Francisco to leave L.A.

Yes but how much was a one-way ticket from SF to LA? Whether its irrational or hyper-rational, (I think fares are determined by state lottery drawings), I have found that airlines price 1 way tickets differently depending on the direction you travel.
