Ticket
Please…
One morning, three
Southerners and three Yankees were in a ticket counter line at a train station.
The three Northerners each bought a ticket and watched as the three Southerners
bought just one ticket.
How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket' asked one of the
Yankees.
Watch and learn, answered one of the boys from the South.
All six boarded the train where the three Yankees sat down, but the three
Southerners crammed into a toilet together and closed the door.
Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect tickets.
He knocked on the toilet 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 Yankees saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea. Indeed so
clever they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save some
money.
That afternoon when they got back to the station, they bought a single ticket
for the return trip and watched, while to their astonishment, the three Southerners
didn't buy even one ticket.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket' asked one of the perplexed
Yankees.
'Watch and learn, answered the three Southern boys in unison.
W hen they boarded the train, the three Northerners crammed themselves into a
toilet and the three Southerners crammed into another toilet just down the
way.
Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Southerners left their toilet
and walked over to the toilet in which the Yankees were hiding.
The Southerner knocked on the door and said, 'Ticket, please.’
There's just no way on God's green earth to explain how the Yankees won the
war.
