   Three Microsoft software engineers and three IBM software engineers are    
   traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three IBM    
   software engineers each buy tickets and watch as the three Microsoft    
   software engineers buy only a single ticket.   
      
   "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?' asks one of    
   the IBM programmers.   
      
   "Watch and you'll see," answers the Microsoft programmer.   
      
   They all board the train. The IBM software engineers take their    
   respective seats but all three Microsoft software engineers cram into a    
   restroom and close the door behind them.   
      
   Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor 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 conductor takes it and moves on.   
      
   The IBM software engineers witness all this and agreed it was quite a    
   clever idea. So after the conference, the IBMers decide to copy the    
   Microsofties on the return trip and save some money.   
      
   When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return    
   trip. To their astonishment, the Microsoft programmers don't buy a    
   ticket at all.   
      
   "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one of the    
   perplexed IBM employees.   
      
   "Watch and you'll see," answers one of the Microsoft programmers.   
      
   When they board the train the three IBM programmers cram into the first    
   restroom they can. The three Microsoft programmers pile into another one    
   nearby. Shortly thereafter, the train leaves the station.   
      
   After a brief interval, one of the Microsoft software engineers leaves    
   his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the IBM programmers    
   are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please..."
