Three engineers and three accountants were travelling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants bought tickets each. The three engineers bought only a single ticket.

"How are the three engineers going to travel on only one ticket?" asked one accountant.

"Watch and you'll see," answered one engineer.

They all boarded the train. The accountants took their respective seats, but all the three engineers crammed into a restroom and closed the door.

Shortly after the train had departed, the conductor came round collecting tickets.He knocked on the restroom door: "Ticket, please." The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on.

The accountants saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. After the conference, the accountants decided to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all!). When they got to the station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers bought no ticket at all !!

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one perplexed accountant.

"Watch and you'll see," retorted one engineer.

When they boarded the train the three accountants crammed into a restroom and the three engineers crammed into another nearby.

The train departed shortly afterwards. one of the engineers left his restroom and walked over to the restroom where the accountants were hiding.

He knocked on the door: "ticket please" !!!
