Five Americans boarded a train just behind five Jews, who, as a group had only purchased one ticket. Just before the conductor came through, all the Jews piled into the toilet stall at the back of the car. As the conductor passed the stall, he knocked and called"Tickets, please!" and one of the Jews slid a ticket under the door. It was punched, pushed back under the door, and when it was safe all the Jews came out and took their seats. The Americans were tremendously impressed by the Jews' ingenuity. On the trip back, the five Americans decided to try this themselves and purchased only one ticket. They noticed that, oddly, the Jews had not purchased any tickets this time. Anyway, again, just before the conductor came through, the Jews piled into one of the toilet stalls, the Americans into the other. Then one of the Jews leaned out, knocked on the Americans stall and called "Ticket, Please!" When the ticket slid out under the door, he picked it up and quickly closed the door
