OT - Train Ride
 

[
Three engineers and three scientists were traveling by train to a
conference. The scientists went to the ticket window and bought three
one-way tickets. The engineers bought only one. The scientists
remarked that there were three engineers but only one ticket. The
engineers said to watch.

Right before the train left the three engineers crammed into one rest
room. When the conductor came through to collect tickets he checked
the rest room and, seeing it occupied, said "Ticket please." One of
the engineers cracked open the door and handed out the ticket, which
the conductor validated. After a few minutes the engineers returned to
their seats. The scientists were amazed, and said they'd try it on the
way back.

On the way back after the conference, the engineers and scientists met
at the ticket window again. The scientists said "we know what to do"
and bought only one ticket. But the engineers didn't buy any! Once
again the scientists were perplexed. The engineers said "wait and
see."

As the train left the station the scientists got up and crammed
themselves into a rest room. The engineers did the same. After a few
minutes, before the conductor appeared, one of the engineers came out
of their wash room and knocked on the door where the scientists were
and said "Ticket please!"

Hey ???? (got even a nick-name?...User Example is so hard to say!),

I don't know either, but he does appear to have a "real" name at
least. And the Train Ride joke was at least as on topic as the stuff
you commented on about PayPal.

Take care.

question to self...why do I bother to answer even one these
ages-old-seemingly-repeated-every-twenty-four-hours type questions
that always turn in to America-all-the-way political brouhaha's posted
here?

answer to self...still stupid I guess!

Yeah, but at least there's a point to the Paypal question.. cliff,
dropping his steaming piles here every few minutes, really doesn't
contribute much at all.

You guys perchance scientists?

This engineer LIKED that joke, I'm gonna tell it at next week's meeting
of my Rotary Club.

Why all the clatter about off topic posts which have headers leading off
with "OT"? That's plenty of fair warning, so filter them out or let your
eyes slip over them as I do.

And, grousing about wasted bandwidth isn't meaningfull nowadays, one
porno clip on an alt.binary newsgroup swallows more bandwidth than
several months worth or rcm posts do, and there are many thousands of
those out there. (DAMHIKT)
