ONE MORNING 3 ALABAMA GOOD OLD BOYS AND 3 YANKEES WERE IN A TICKET
LINE AT THE BIRMINGHAM TRAIN STATION HEADING TO ATLANTA FOR A BIG
FOOTBALL GAME. THE 3 NORTHERNERS EACH BOUGHT A TICKET AND WATCHED AS
THE 3 SOUTHERNERS BOUGHT JUST ONE TICKET AMONG THEM.
"HOW ARE THE 3 OF YOU GOING TO TRAVEL ON ONE 1 TICKET?" ASKED ONE OF
THE YANKEES. "WATCH AND LEARN" ANSWERED ONE OF THE BOYS FROM THE
SOUTH.
WHEN THE 6 TRAVELERS BOARDED THE TRAIN, THE 3 YANKEES SAT DOWN, BUT
THE 3 SOUTHERNERS CRAMMED INTO A BATHROOM TOGETHER AND CLOSED THE
DOOR. SHORTLY AFTER THE TRAIN DEPARTED, THE CONDUCTOR CAME AROUND TO
COLLECT TICKETS. HE KNOCKED ON THE BATHROOM DOOR AND SAID, "TICKETS
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 THAT THEY DECIDED TO DO THE SAME THING ON THE RETURN
TRIP AND SAVE SOME MONEY.
THAT EVENING AFTER THE GAME WHEN THEY GOT TO THE ATLANTA TRAIN
STATION, THEY BOUGHT A SINGLE TICKET FOR THE RETURN TRIP WHILE TO
THEIR ASTONISHMENT THE 3 SOUTHERNERS DIDN'T BUY EVEN 1 TICKET.
"HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TRAVEL WITHOUT A TICKET?" ASKED ONE OF THE
PERPLEXED YANKEES. "WATCH AND LEARN", ANSWERED ONE OF THE SOUTHERN
BOYS.
WHEN THEY BOARDED THE TRAIN THE 3 NORTHERNERS CRAMMED THEMSELVES INTO
A BATHROOM AND THE 3 SOUTHERNERS CRAMMED THEMSELVES INTO THE OTHER
BATHROOM ACROSS FROM IT.
SHORTLY AFTER THE TRAIN BEGAN TO MOVE, ONE OF THE SOUTHERNERS LEFT
THEIR BATHROOM AND WALKED QUIETLY OVER TO THE YANKEE'S BATHROOM. HE
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 WAR...
