Three Scots and three Englishmen are travelling by train to a football match. At the station, the three Englishmen each buy tickets and watch as the three Scots buy only a single ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asked one of the three Englanders. "Watch and learn," answers one of the Scotsmen.
They all board the train. The Englishmen take their respective seats but all three Scotsmen cram into a toilet and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket, please." With that, the door opens a few inches and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.
The English see this and agree it's a clever idea. So after the match, the Englishmen decide to copy the Scots (on the return trip) to save some money. When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket. However, to their astonishment, the Scots don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket," asks one perplexed Englishman. "Watch and learn," says one of the Scotsmen.
When they board the train the three English cram into a toilet and the three Scots cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterwards, one of the Scots leaves the toilet and walks over to the one where the Englishmen are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."
Watch and learn - Jimmy!
