Three engineers and three accountants were traveling by train to a
conference. At the station, the three accountants each bought tickets and
watched as the three engineers bought only one ticket. "How are three
people going to travel on only one ticket?" asked an accountant."Watch and
you'll see", answered an engineer.They all boarded the train. The
accountants took their respective seats, but the three engineers all
crammed into a rest room and closed the door behind them. Shortly after
the train departed, the conductor came around collecting tickets. He
knocked on the restroom door and said, "Ticket, please".
The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand.
The conductor
took it and moved on. The accountants saw this and agreed it was a quite
clever idea. So, after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the
engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money,
and all that).
When they got to the station, they bought a single ticket
for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers didn't buy a
ticket at all. "How are you going to ride without a ticket"? said one
perplexed accountant."Watch and you'll see", answered an engineer. When
they boarded the train, the three accountants crammed into a restroom and
the three engineers crammed into another one nearby. The train departed.
Shortly afterward, one of the engineers left his restroom and walked over
to the restroom where the accountants were hiding. He knocked on the door
and said, "Ticket, please".
