Three engineers and three accountants were traveling by
train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants
each bought tickets and watched as the three engineers
bought only one ticket.

"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?"
asked one of the accountants.

"Watch and you'll see," answered an engineer.

They all boarded the train. The accountants took their
respective seats, but the three engineers all crammed into a
rest room and closed the door behind them. Shortly after the
train departed, the conductor came around collecting tickets.
He knocked on the restroom 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
accountants saw this and agreed it was a quite clever idea.

So, after the conference, the accountants decided to copy the
engineers on the return trip and save some money (being
clever with money, and all that). When they got to the
station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip. To
their astonishment, the engineers didn't buy a ticket at all.

"How are you going to ride without a ticket?" asked one of
the perplexed accountants.

"Watch and you'll see", answered an engineer.

When they boarded the train, the three accountants crammed
into a restroom and the three engineers crammed into another
one nearby. The train departed. Shortly afterward, one of
the engineers left his restroom and walked over to the
restroom where the accountants were hiding. He knocked on
the door and said, "Ticket, please."



Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his
flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth
to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
-Galations 6:7
