At the station three lawyers each buy tickets and watch as three engineers buy only a single ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a lawyer. "Watch and you'll see," answers the engineer.
They all board the train together. The lawyers take their repective seats, but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train departs, 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 lawyers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea.
After the conference, the lawyers decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (recognizing the engineers superior intellect). 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?" asks one perplexed lawyer.
"Watch and you'll see," says an engineer.
When they board the train the three lawyers cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another restroom nearby where the lawyers are hiding. Soon after the train bulls out, one engineers leaves the restroom and walks over to the restroom where the lawyers are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket please."
