How are three people going to travel on only one
ticket? asked one of the three lawyers.
Watch and you'll see , answered one of the engineers.
They all boarded the train. The lawyers took their respective seats but all
three engineers crammed into a restroom and closed the door behind
themselves.
Shortly after the train had 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 lawyers saw this
and agreed it was quite a clever idea.
So after the conference, the lawyers decided to copy the engineers on the
return trip and save some money. When they reached the station, they bought
a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers
didn't by a ticket at all.
How are you going to travel without a ticket , asked
one perplexed lawyer.
Watch and you'll see , said one of the engineers.
When they boarded the train the three lawyers 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 lawyers were hiding. He knocked on
the door and said,
Ticket, please .
