Three Indians and three Pakistanis are travelling by train to a
Cricket match at the World Cup in England.
At the station, the three Indians buy a ticket each and watch as the three Pakistanis buy just one ticket for them all. "How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks one of the Indians.
"Watch and learn," answers one of the Pakistanis.
They all board the train. The Indians take their respective
seats but all three Pakistani cram into a toilet and close the door behind
them. Shortly after the train departs, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Indians see this and agree it was quite a clever idea.
So after the game, they decide to copy the Pakistani style on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they get to the station, they buy one ticket for three on the return trip. To their astonishment, the Pakistanis don't buy ticket at all!! "How come are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed Indian.
"Watch and learn," answers a Pakistani.
When they board the train the three Indians cram into one toilet
and soon after the three Pakistanis cram into another nearby toilet.
The train departs. Shortly afterwards, one of the Pakistanis leaves the
toilet and walks over to the toilet where the Indians are hiding.
He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket please." The door opens just
a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.
