The Americans Three Americans and three Nigerians are travelling by rail to a conference. At the station, the three Americans each bought tickets and watched as the three Nigerians bought only a single ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asked an American. "You just wait and see!" answe! rs a Nigerian. They all boarded the train. The Americans took their respective seats but all three Nigerians cramped into a restroom and closed the door behind them. Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect tickets. He knocked on the restroom 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 Americans saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. After the conference, the Americans decided to copy the Nigerians on the return trip and save some money. When they got to the station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Nigerians did not buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket," asks one perplexed American. "You just wait and see!!" says a Nigerian. After boarding the train, the three Americans cramped into a restroom and the three Nigerians cramped into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Nigerians leaves their restroom and walks over to the restroom where the Americans were hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please".
