Cowboys Vs Yankees
One morning, three cowboys from Texas and three Yankees
were in a ticket line at a train station.
The three Northerners each bought a ticket and watched as the three cowboys
bought just one ticket.
'How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket asked one of the Yankees.
'Watch and learn,' answered one of the boys from the Texas.
All six boarded the train where the three Yankees sat down, but the three cowboys crammed
into a toilet together and closed the door.
Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect tickets.
He knocked on the toilet door and said, 'Ticket, please.' The door opened just a crack and
a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on.
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.
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 cowboys didn't buy even one ticket.
'How are you going to travel without a ticket?' asked one of the perplexed Yankees.
'Watch and learn,' answered the three cowboys in unison.
When they boarded the train, the three Northerners crammed themselves into a toilet and the
three cowboys crammed into another toilet just down the way. Shortly after the train began
to move, one of the cowboys left their toilet and walked over to the toilet in which the
Yankees were hiding.
The cowboy knocked on the door and said, 'Ticket, please.'
There's just no way on God's green earth to explain how the Yankees won the civil war.
