Thrifty lads


Three Newfoundlanders and three mainlanders are traveling by train to
a hockey game. At the station, the three mainlanders buy one ticket
each and watch as the three Newfoundlanders buy only one ticket.
  
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" the
mainlanders ask. "Watch and you'll see," reply the Newfoundlanders.
  

They all board the train. The mainlanders take their respective seats
but all three Newfoundlanders cram into a bathroom and close the door
behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes
around collecting tickets. He knocks on the bathroom door and says,
"Ticket Please."
  
The door opens up just a crack, and a single arm emerges with a ticket
in hand. The Conductor takes it and moves on. The mainlanders see this
and agree it was quite a clever idea.
  
So after the game they decide to copy the Newfoundlanders on the
return trip and save some money. When they get to the station, they
buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment the
Newfoundlanders don't buy any tickets at all.
  
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" ask the perplexed
mainlanders.
  
"Watch and you'll see", reply the Newfoundlanders.
  
When they board the train, the three mainlanders cram into a bathroom
and the three Newfoundlanders cram into another bathroom nearby.
 
Once the train leaves the station, one of the Newfoundlanders leaves
and walks over to the other bathroom where the mainlanders are hiding,
knocks on the door and says, "Ticket Please".
