> Three engineers and three accountants are traveling by train
> to a conference.  At the station, the three accountants each
> buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a
> single ticket.
>
> "How are three 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 three accountants cram into a
> restroom  and the three 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.
