Behind Blue Eyes

fuckyeahmath:

Each of the mathematicians had a ticket, but only one of the engineers did. The mathematicians were snickering about this when one of the engineers returned to the car and shouted, “Conductor’s coming!”

All of the engineers hurried back and crammed into a restroom, and when the conductor came by, he knocked on the door

and said,”Ticket please.”  The engineer with the ticket passed it under the door, and the conductor punched it

and returned it.  After the conductor left, all the engineers came piling out, and the mathematicians sat there in amazement.

On the return trip the mathematicians decided to do the same thing, so they only purchased one ticket amongst them.

This time,none of the engineers had a ticket.  The mathematicians were snickering again, when an engineer

ran in the car and said “Conductor’s coming.”   All of the mathematicians piled into one restroom and all

of the engineers into another.  The last engineer in knocked on the restroom of mathematicians and said,

“Ticket, please.” He then took the ticket and joined the rest of the engineers.
