Cafeoutdoors.com: How the hell did the Yankees ever win the war...

One morning, three Southerners and three Yankees
were in a ticket counter line at a train station. The three Northerners each bought a ticket and watched as the three Southerners bought just one ticket.

"How are the three of you going to travel on only one
ticket?" asked one of the Yankees.

"Watch and learn," answered one of the boys from Dixie.

All six boarded the train where the three Yankees sat
down, but the three Southerners crammed into a toilet
together and closed the door.

Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came
around to collect tickets. He knocked on the toilet
door and said, "Ticket,please."

The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged
with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on.

The Yankees saw this happen and agreed it was quite a
clever idea. Indeed, so clever they decided to do the
same thing on the return trip and save some money.

That afternoon when they got back to the station, they
bought a single ticket for the return trip and
watched, while to their astonishment, the three Southerners didn't buy even one ticket!

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked
a perplexed Yankee.

"Watch and learn," answered the three Southern boys in
unison. When they boarded the train, the three
Northerners crammed themselves into a toilet and the three Southerners crammed into another toilet just down the way.

Shortly after the train began to move, one of the
Southerners left their toilet and walked over to the
toilet in which the Yankees were hiding.

The Southerner knocked on the door and said, "Ticket,
please."
