Cheap Train Ride
A group of four engineers and a group of four accountants were all waiting in line to buy tickets for the train going to New York, each group going to a different convention.
Each of the accountants went to the window and bought a ticket. They noticed that only one of the engineers bought a ticket. They wondered how they were all going to ride on only one ticket.
Everyone boarded the train, and all four engineers crowded into the restroom. The ticket collector went by picking up everyone’s ticket. He went to the restroom, knocked on the door and said, “Ticket please”. One of the engineers passes the ticket to him through the door and he moves on. They then leave the restroom and find a seat.
Seeing this, the accountants plan on using this technique on the return trip from New York.
After their convention, the accountants again meet up with the engineers in the train station. One of the accountant buys one ticket for the group. They notice that the engineers haven’t bought any tickets. They again wonder how all the engineers are going to ride without ANY tickets!
Upon entering the train, the group of engineers cram into one restroom, while the accountants cram into another. One of the engineers leaves the restroom, knocks on the accountant’s restroom, and says, “Ticket please!!”
