Three Wiganers and three Leythers are travelling by train to the Cup final at Wembley. At the station, the three Leythers each buy a ticket and watch as the three Wiganers buy just one ticket between them.
"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks one of the Leythers. "Watch and learn," answers one of the Wiganers.
They all board the train. The Leythers take their respective seats but all three Wiganers cram into a toilet and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor arrives to collect the tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.
The Leythers are mightily impressed by this, so after the game, they decide to copy the Wiganers on the return trip and save some money.
When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip...To their astonishment, the Wiganers don't buy a ticket at all !!
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed Leyther.
"Watch and learn..." says one Wiganer.
When they board the train the three Leythers cram into a toilet and soon after the three Wiganers pile into another nearby. The train departs.
Shortly afterwards, one of the Wiganers leaves the toilet and sneaks across to the toilet where the Leythers are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket please.."
