TICKETS PLEASE

((POSTING ON A LIGHTER NOTE))

Three engineers and three Project Managers are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three Project Managers each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket. "Three people and only one ticket, how's that going to work?" asks one Project Manager. "Watch and learn," answers an engineer. They all board the train. The Project Managers take their comfortable seats but all three engineers cram into a toilet and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet 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 Project Managers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the Project Managers decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers buy no tickets at all. "Three people and NO tickets, how on earth can that work?" asks one perplexed PM. "Watch and learn," answers an engineer.

When they board the train the three Project Managers cram into a toilet and the three engineers sit comfortably nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the engineers walks over to the toilet where the Project Managers are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."
