MBAs and Lawyers
Three lawyers and three MBAs are traveling by train to a conference.
At the station, the three MBAs each buy tickets and watch as the three
lawyers buy only a single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an MBA.
"Watch and you'll see," answers a lawyer.
They all board the train. The MBAs take their respective seats but all
three lawyers 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 MBAs see this and
agree it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the MBAs
decide to copy the lawyers 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 lawyers don't buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed MBA.
"Watch and you'll see," answers a lawyer.
When they board the train the three MBAs cram into a restroom and the
three lawyers cram into another one nearby. the train departs. Shortly
afterward, one of the lawyers leaves his restroom and walks over to
the restroom where the MBAs are hiding. He knocks on the door and
says,
"Ticket, please."
