Walter Deemer's Joke Of The Month -- September, 1996

Three of our County Commissioners, accompanied by three local bankers, recently attended a meeting in Miami. They decided to drive to West Palm Beach, then take the train to Miami. As they prepeard to board the train, however, the bankers noticed that the commissioners had only bought one ticket for the three of them.

"What's going on?", one banker asked.

"You'll see", came the reply.

When the train pulled out of the station, the commissioners all crowded into the washroom. The conductor came by, knocked on the washroom door, and said "Tickets, please". The door opened a crack and an arm reached through with a ticket. The conductor punched it and said "Thank you".

On the way home, the bankers bought just one ticket among them -- then noticed that the commissioners hadn't bought a single ticket.

"What's going on now?", one of the bankers asked.

"Just wait, you'll see."

The train pulled out of Miami, and the three commissioners again crowded into the washroom, while the bankers all jammed into the washroom in the next car. When the train started moving, one of the commissioners stepped out, went into the next car, knocked on the bankers' washroom door and said "Tickets please."
