>Three lawyers and three MBAs are traveling by train to a 
>conference. At the station, the three lawyers each buy 
>tickets and watch as the three MBAs 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 an MBA. 
>
>They all board the train. The lawyers take their respective 
>seats but all three MBAs 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 lawyers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. 
>So after the conference, the lawyers decide to copy the MBAs on 
>the return trip and save some money (recognizing the MBAs 
>superior intellect). When they get to the station, they buy a 
>single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the 
>MBAs don't buy a ticket at all. 
>
>"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one 
>perplexed lawyer. 
>
>"Watch and you'll see," answers an MBA. 
>
>When they board the train the three lawyers cram into a 
>restroom and the three MBAs cram into another one nearby. The 
>train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the MBAs leaves his 
>restroom and walks over to the restroom where the lawyers are 
>hiding. He knocks on the door and says, Ticket, please.
