Three women and three men are traveling by train to the football game. At the station, the three men each buy a ticket and watch as the three women buy just one ticket.
"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks one
of the men.
"Watch and learn," answers one of the women.
They all board the train. The three men take their respective seats but all three women cram into a toilet together and close the door.
Shortly after the train has departed, 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 men see this happen and agree it was quite a clever idea; so, after the game, they decide to do the same thing on the return trip and save some money.
When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip but see, to their astonishment, that the three women don't buy any ticket at all!!
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed man.
"Watch and learn," answer the women.
When they board the train, the three men cram themselves into a toilet, and the three women cram into a toilet just down the way.
Shortly after the train is on its way, one of the women leaves her toilet and walks over to the toilet in which the men are hiding. She knocks on their door and says, "Ticket please."
I'm still trying to figure out why men think they are smarter than women.
Doug, thanks. It was time for something light, don't you think?
Gee, when I first heard that joke a few years ago it was Indians and Pakistanis. Of course, I heard it from an Indian. Then I heard it involving different ethnic groups. But this women vs. men version is a first.
ReplyDeleteAnd now you heard it from a woman who got it from a man. This is the right version, you know. Just ask the Lovely Mona.
ReplyDeleteVery funny and oh so true.
ReplyDeleteIt is an all purpose joke, can be switched at one's convenience, men and women etc etc.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mimi... and Doug!
Oh excellent. Very good indeed, and so true. Sadly.
ReplyDeleteWhich brings up the question of what it is that girls do together behind closed doors when two or three of them head into the bathroom for five or ten minutes at a time.
ReplyDeleteLapin, it's all to do with hair and make-up, especially hair. It's about getting the messy, uncombed look exactly right. Every lock must be in its place to produce THE LOOK.
ReplyDeleteMy version has the clever ones being Mac coders and the slow ones being Microsoft coders.

Nancy! I take that rather personally, you know.
ReplyDeleteI love that you occasionally post jokes. The mix of humor and seriousness is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBut I thought the reason we women trooped to the bathroom together was to discuss the men. (Or have I spilled a state secret?)
Ruth, I was thinking of girls really, with the hair, but I do remember the times, long ago, when we went to the john, as we called it, to talk about the guys. As for me now, I go simply to use the facilities.
