Three lawyers and three
engineers are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the
three lawyers each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy
only a single ticket.
"How are three people
going to travel on only one ticket?" asked one of the three
lawyer.
"Watch and you'll
see," answers one of the engineers.
They all board the train. The
lawyers take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into
a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train as
departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on
the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please."
The door opens just a crack and
a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and
moves on.
The lawyers saw this and agreed
it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the lawyers
decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some
money.
When they get to the station,
the engineers again buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their
astonishment, the lawyers don't buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to
travel without a ticket," asks one perplexed engineer.
"Watch and you'll
see," says one of the lawyers.
When they board the train the
three engineers cram into a restroom and the three lawyers cram into
another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the
lawyers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the
engineers are hiding. He knocks on the door and says,
"Ticket, please."
