Three lawyers and three software engineers were on their way to a conference in New York. At the railway station the three lawyers bought a ticket each but the engineers bought only one ticket between them.
"How will three of you travel on a single ticket?" asked the lawyers.
"Wait and see," said the engineers.
They boarded the train together. The lawyers took their seats but the engineers locked themselves in the toilet.
Shortly after the train started the conductor came to collect the tickets. He knocked on the door of the toilet and demanded, "Ticket please!" The door opened just a crack, and a hand emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took the ticket and moved on. Thereupon the enginners came out and occupied whatever seats were available. The lawyers were impressed.
The two groups met at the railway station on the return journey too. This time the lawyers bought only one ticket between them. The engineers bought no ticket at all.
"How will you manage without a ticket?" asked the lawyers bewildered. "Wait and see," said the engineers.
On boarding the train, the lawyers made a beeline for the toilet. They rushed in and locked themselves in. The engineers locked themselves in the other toilet.
When the train started moving out of the station one of the engineers came out of the toilet and knocked on the door of the other toilet.
"Ticket please!" he said. The door opened a crack, and a hand emerged and handed him the ticket.
