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. <br /><br />"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asked one of the Yankees. <br /><br />"Watch and learn," answered one of the boys from the South. <br /><br />All six boarded the train where the three Yankees sat down, but the three Southerners crammed into a toilet together and closed the door. <br /><br />Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect tickets. He knocked on the toilet door and said, "Ticket, please. <br /><br />The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. <br />The conductor took it and moved on. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked a perplexed Yankee. <br /><br />"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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />The Southerner knocked on the door and said, "Ticket, please." <br /><br />There's just no way on God's green earth to explain how the Yankees could have ever won the war. <br /><br /> <br />**********************************************************************************
