One morning, three Newfoundlanders and three Albertans were in a ticket Counter line at a train station. The three Albertans each bought a ticket and watched as the three Newfies' bought just one ticket.
"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asked one Of the Albertans.
"Watch and learn," answered one of the Newfies'. All six boarded the train where the three Albertans sat down, but the three Newfies' crammed into a toilet together and closed the door.
Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect tickets. He knocked on the toilet 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 Albertans saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea. Indeed, so clever they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save some money.
That afternoon when they got back to the station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip and watched, while to their astonishment, the three Newfies' didn't buy even one ticket! "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked a perplexed Albertan.
"Watch and learn," answered the three Newfie boys in unison.
When they boarded the train, the three Albertans crammed themselves into a toilet and the three Newfies' crammed into another toilet just down the way.
Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Newfies' left the toilet and walked over to the toilet in which the Albertans were hiding.
The Newfie knocked on the door and said, "Ticket, please."
As you can likely tell, it's 5:30am on a Sunday morning... god bless night shift. I'm in the process of training some new staff and lucky for me, I'm getting lots of administrative work done. Dawned on me today, as I'm watching the temperature drop, that I really miss Miami. I think tomorrow we are shooting for a high of -20C. Yipee!!! Luckily, the 14-day forecast shows an upward trend in temperatures.
All my Christmas presents are bought, will drop those in the mail tomorrow so everyone has them in time for Old Man Red's visit on the 25th. Hopefully I selected some good presents.
Love you all.
