Yankees and Southerners

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 the
South.

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."

There's just no way on earth to explain
how the Yankees ever won the war.
