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 a perplexed Yankee.
"Watch and learn," answered the three
Southern boys in unison. When 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 ever won the war.
