A Little Laughter...goes a long way

Tickets, Please!


Three stage managers and three actors are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three stage managers each buy tickets and watch as the three actors buy only a single ticket. 

"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a stage manager. 

"Watch and you'll see," answers an actor.

They all board the train. The stage managers take their respective seats but all three actors 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 stage managers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So, after the conference, the stage managers decide to copy the actors on the return trip and save some money (recognizing the actors' superior intellect).

When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the actors don't buy a ticket at all.

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed stage manager.

"Watch and you'll see," answers an actor.

When they board the train, the three stage managers cram into a restroom and the three actors cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the actors leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the stage managers are hiding.

He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."
