The accountants see this and agree it is quite a clever idea.So after the conference，the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money.When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.

Shortly afterward，one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding.He knocks on the door and says，“Ticket，please.”
