Five Germans and Five Englishmen~a joke
Five Englishmen got on a train from London to Paris.They sat just behind five Germans.The five Germans,as a group,bought only one ticket.
Just before the conductor came, all the Germans went to the toilet at the back of the carriage.As the conductor came through,he knocked and called: "Ticket,please!"
One of the Germans showed his ticket under the door.When it was safe,all the Germans came out and took their seats. The Englishmen were deeply impressed by the Germans.
On the trip back,the five Englishmen decided to try this themselves and bought one ticket. but the five Germans bought no tickets this time.
Once again,just before the conductor came,the Germans went into one toilet and the Englishmen went into the opposite one.Then one of the Germans came out.He knocked on the Englishmen's door and called:" Ticket,please!"When the ticket was showed under the door,he took it and quickly went back to the Germans' toilet.
五个英国人从伦敦去巴黎上了一列火车,他们刚好坐在五个德国人后面,这五个德国人作为一个群体,只买了一张车票。
就在列车员要来之前,所有德国人躲进车厢后端的洗手间。当列车员经过,他敲门并叫道:请出示车票!
其中一个德国人出示车票在门底下,顺利之后,所有德国人出来、坐回座位。英国人被德国人的行为留下深刻印象。
返程当中,五个英国人决定他们也尝试此举,只买一张车票,但这时五个德国人没买车票。
事情又一次发生,正当列车员要来前,德国人进了一间洗手间,英国人进了对面一间,之后一个德国人出来,他敲这英国人的门:请出示车票!当车票出示在门下,他捡起车票很快回到德国人的洗手间内。
