Back when I was in high school (a long long time ago), Continental Airlines ran an ad to the effect that for $10 (ten bucks) they would put you on a flight to "somewhere" then bring you home. It was a way for people who had never traveled to experience an airline flight at a cheap rate, using seats that would otherwise be empty.
I hung out with a platonic male friend in those days, and he saw this ad. He called me and said "Let's do it!".
We lived in Wichita, Kansas, at that time. We went to ICT dreaming of exciting destinations such as New York or Los Angeles. We got to the ticket counter, money and coupon in hand, and waited to hear where they would send us.
Tulsa.
Yep, for our $10 ($20 for two) we got sent to Tulsa. We had lunch in the Tulsa airport, then flew back.
