Three lawyers and three engineers were all waiting at a train station for the next train to Chicago. One of the lawyers noticed that only one of the engineers purchased a ticket. When the lawyer asked the engineer how they all planned to ride with just one ticket, the engineer told him to wait and see.
Boarding the train, the lawyers took their seats as the engineers all piled into the restroom. A minute later the conductor came through asking for tickets. When he came to the restroom, the engineer stuck out his hand and the one ticket.
At the end of the day the three lawyers and the three engineers were all waiting for the same train again. The lawyers had decided to try purchasing just one ticket. The engineers didn't purchase any tickets this time. The lawyer couldn't believe that the engineer thought he could get away with riding with no tickets, and smugly told him so.
Boarding the train, the three lawyers pile into a restroom while the three engineers piled into another restroom. Waiting a minute, the engineer stepped out and knocking on the restroom door the lawyers were piled in, said "Ticket please."
