> One morning  3 South Georgia good ol' boys & 3 Yankees were in a ticket
>  line
> at the  Albany train station heading to Athens for a big football  game.
>
> The  3 Northerners each bought a ticket & watched as the 3  Southerners
> bought just  1 ticket among them.
>
>  "How are the 3 of you going to travel on 1 ticket?" asked one of  the
>  Yankees.
>
>  "Watch & learn" answered 1 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 & closed the door.
>
>  Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to  collect
>  tickets.
>
> He  knocked on the bathroom door & said, "Ticket, please." the door  opened
> just a crack  & a single arm emerged w/a ticket in hand. The Conductor
> took it  & moved on.
>
> The  Yankees saw this happen & agreed it was quite a clever idea.  Indeed,
> so clever  that they decided to do the same thing on the return trip &  save

>
>  That evening after the game when they got to the Charlotte train  station,
> they bought  a single ticket for the return trip while to their

>  When they boarded the train the 3 Northerners crammed themselves into  a

>
>  Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Southerners left  their
