Five Englishmen boarded a train just behind five Scots, who, as a
group had only purchased one ticket. Just before the conductor came
through, all the Scots piled into the toilet stall at the back of the
car. As the conductor passed the stall, he knocked and called"Tickets,
please!" and one of the Scots slid a ticket under the door. It was
punched, pushed back under the door, and when it was safe all the
Scots came out and took their seats. The Englishmen were tremendously
impressed by the Scots' ingenuity. On the trip back, the five
Englishmen decided to try this themselves and purchased only one
ticket. They noticed that, oddly, the Scots had not purchased any
tickets this time. Anyway, again, just before the conductor came
through, the Scots piled into one of the toilet stalls, the Englishmen
into the other. Then one of the Scots leaned out, knocked on the
Englishmen's stall and called "Ticket, Please!" When the ticket slid
out under the door, he picked it up and quickly closed the door
