Three Linux engineers and three from Microsoft were preparing to travel by train to attend a conference. At the station, the Microsoft engineers bought their tickets and saw that the Linux engineers only bought one… “How are three people going to travel on a single ticket?” one of the Microsoft employees asked them. “Now you’ll see!” replied one of Linux. They all got on the train and the Microsoft employees watched as the three Linux engineers went into the bathroom together. Shortly after the train started, the conductor arrived asking for the tickets, knocked on the bathroom door and said: “Ticket please”… the door opened enough for an arm to come out with the ticket in his hand, the conductor marked it and continued on his way. Seeing this, the Microsoft employees agreed that it was a great idea and that they would copy the trick on the way back from the congress, to save a few pesetillas. On the way back at the station, the Microsoft employees bought only one ticket, and were stunned to see that the Linux engineers did not get any… “How are they going to travel without a ticket?” asked one of the Microsoft employees perplexed. “Now you’re going to see!” replied one of the linuxeros. As they boarded the train, the three Microsoft employees went into one bathroom and the three Linux engineers into another… The train started, and quickly one of the linuxers came out of the bathroom, went to the Microsoft employees, knocked on the door and said: “Ticket please”…..
