Microsoft Employees Ride A Train

Three Apple engineers and three Microsoft employees are traveling
by train to a conference. At the station, the three Microsoft
employees each buy tickets and watch as the three Apple engineers
buy only a single ticket.

"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a
Microsoft employee.

"Watch and you'll see," answers the Apple engineer.

They all board the train. The Microsoft employees take their
respective seats but all three Apple engineers cram into a
restroom and close the door behind them.

Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around
collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom 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
Microsoft employees saw this and agreed it was quite a clever
idea.

So after the conference, the Microsoft employees decide to copy
the Apple engineers (as they always do) on the return trip and
save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When
they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return
trip.

To their astonishment, the Apple engineers don't buy a ticket at
all.

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one
perplexed Microsoft employee.

"Watch and you'll see," answers an Apple engineer.

When they board the train the three Microsoft employees cram into
a restroom and the three Apple engineers cram into another one
nearby.

The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Apple engineers
leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the
Microsoft employees are hiding.

He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please..."

So what's the moral of the story? We should all go out and buy an Apple computer?
