Three Geeks and three Doctors are going to a conference and must travel by train to get there. At the station, the three Doctors buy their three tickets and watch as the three Geeks buy only a single ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" says one Doctor. "Just watch and you'll see," answers a Geek. They all board the train and the Doctors take their seats and watch as all three Geeks cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. The train departs and shortly afterward, the Ticket Inspector comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The Ticket Inspector takes it and moves on.
The Doctors see all this and agreed it is quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the Doctors decide to copy the Geeks on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. But to their astonishment, the Geeks don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a single ticket?" says one Doctor. "Just watch and you'll see," answers a Geek. They board the train. The three Doctors cram into a restroom compartment and the three Geeks cram into an another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Geeks leaves his restroom, walks over to the Doctors stall, knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please".
