I wanted to take my kids to the movies but did not want to   
wait on line to buy the tickets, so I called ahead to the   
theater to buy them over the phone.   

I asked, "How much is a ticket?"   

They said, "Seven dollars."   

I asked, "How much for children?"   

They said, "Same price, Seven dollars."   

I said, "The airlines charge half fare for children."   

They said, "OK, put your kids on a plane to somewhere, and   
you come to the movie. You'll enjoy it a lot more that way."
