Ticketless Travelling
At the station, the three engineers each buy a ticket and
watch as the three accountants only buy one ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?"
asks an engineer.
"Watch and you'll see," answered an accountant.
They all board the train. The engineers take their
respective seats but all three accountants cram into a rest
room and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes
around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door
and says, "Tickets, 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 engineers see this and agree it is a clever idea. So
after the conference, the engineers decide to copy the
accountants on the return trip and save some money.
When they get to the station, they buy one ticket for the
return trip. To their astonishment, the accountants don't
buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one
perplexed engineer.
"Watch and you'll see," answered an accountant.
When they board the train all three engineers cram into a
restroom and the three accountants cram into another one
nearby. The train departs.
Shortly afterward, one of the accountants leaves his
restroom and walks over to the restroom where the engineers
are hiding. He knocks on the door and says,
"Tickets, please!"
