One-Way Ticket

Printer-friendly versionSend by email

Former French prime minister Georges Clemenceau fought many duels with various rivals. On one occasion, he surprised his second by asking the attendant at a Paris railroad station for a one-way ticket to the duel. “Isn’t that a little pessimistic?” asked the second.

“Not at all,” Clemenceau replied. “I always use my opponent’s return ticket for the trip back.”
