Three Mutual Fund managers and three hedge fund traders are traveling by
train to a conference. At the station, the three mutual fund managers
buy tickets and watch as the three traders buy only a single ticket. "How
are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a fund manager.
"Watch and you'll see," answers a trader.
They all board the train. The managers take their respective seats but
all three traders 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 managers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after
the conference, the managers decide to copy the traders 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 traders don't buy a ticket
at all.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed
manager."Watch and you'll see," answers a trader. When they board the train the
three managers cram into a restroom and the three traders cram into
another one nearby. The train departs.
Shortly afterward, one of the traders leaves his restroom and walks over
to the restroom where the managers are hiding. He knocks on the door and
says,
"Ticket, please."
