"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asked an accountant.
"Watch and you'll see", answered an engineer.
They all boarded the train. The accountants took their respective seats, but the three engineers all crammed into a rest room and closed the door behind them. Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around collecting tickets. He knocked on the restroom door and said, "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 a quite clever idea. So, after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they got to the station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers didn't buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to ride without a ticket"? said one perplexed accountant.
"Watch and you'll see", answered an engineer.
When they boarded the train, the three accountants crammed into a restroom and the three engineers crammed into another one nearby. The train departed. Shortly afterward, one of the engineers left his restroom and walked over to the restroom where the accountants were hiding. He knocked on the door and said, "Ticket, please."
三个工程师和三个会计师乘火车去参加一个会议。在车站,三个会计师每人买了票,看到三个工程师却只买了一张票。
“你们三个人怎么只买一张票?”一个会计师问。
“看着你就知道了。”一个工程师回答。
他们都上了火车。会计师坐在他们各自的位子上,而三个工程师躲进了一个休息室,并关上了门。火车开了以后,售票员很快就来收票。他在休息室门上敲了敲,“请拿票来。”
门开了一条缝,一只手伸了出来,手里拿着一张票。
售票员拿了它往前走了。
会计师看见这样,承认这是一个相当聪明的做法。因此,在会议结束以后,会计师决定在回来路上学工程师节省一些钱。当他们到了车站后,他们就去买了一张回程的票。而出乎他们的意料,工程师连一张票也没买。
“一张票也没有,你们怎么混得过?”一个会计师困惑了。
“看着你就知道了。”一个工程师回答。
当他们上了火车,三个会计师躲进了一个休息室,三个工程师躲进了隔壁的一个。火车开了。其中一个工程师很快离开了休息室,走到会计师们躲着的休息室门口,敲了敲门,“请拿票来。”
