3 engineers and 3 accountants are travelling by train to a conference. At
the station, the 3 accountants each buy tickets and
watch as the 3 engineers buy only a single ticket.
"How are 3 people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an accountant.
"Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.
They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but
all three engineers cram into a restroom 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, "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 accountants saw this and agreed it was quite a 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 get to the station, they
buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the
engineers don't buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed accountant.
"Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.
When they board the train the 3 accountants cram into a restroom and the 3
engineers cram into another one nearby. The
train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom
and walks over to the restroom where the
accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."
