Three lawyers and three engineers are travelling by train to a conference.
>At the station, the three lawyers 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?" asked one of the
>three lawyers. "Watch and you'll see," answers one of the engineers.
>
>
>They all board the train. The lawyers take their respective seats but all
>three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.
>
>
>Shortly after the train as 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 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
>don't buy a ticket at all.

>"How are you going to travel without a ticket," asks one perplexed lawyer.
