The Pub Discussion Board

Three engineers and three lawyers traveling together go by train to a conference.

All six men arrive at the station.  The three lawyers proceed to the ticket counter and buy a ticket one for each.  However only one engineer buys a ticket.

The lawyers thought this was very strange so they decided to question the engineers about what they thought they were doing.

"Trust us," one engineer says with a wink.  "We know exactly what we are doing."

Finally they all board the train.  The lawyers take their seats and watch with curiosity as all three engineers crowd into a single lavatory and close the door.

The train starts to move and the conductor moves through the car gathering everyone's tickets.  The conductor knocks on the lavatory door, "Ticket Please!"

A hand reaches out with the ticket.

The lawyers are quite impressed with the ingenuity of the engineers and vow to do the same on their return trip.

A few days later snickering together, one of the lawyers goes to the counter to buy a single ticket but they are puzzled when the engineers don't bother to buy even a single ticket.

"What the heck are you doing?" the lawyers ask.

"Don't worry we have it all under control."

They all board the train and the lawyers see the engineers crowd into one of the lavatories.  The lawyers quickly find there own and do the same.  The train starts to move when one of the engineers stops outside the lawyer's lavatory.

*knock knock*, "Ticket please..."
