You're losing it. These jokes stink ...Father,<br /><br />You're losing it. These jokes stink all the way to Kentucky.<br /><br />Now here is a joke for you, not a pun mind you, but a real joke.<br /><br />Five Southern boys and five Yankee lads were waiting to catch a train out of Richmond headed for New York City. After the Yankee boys purchased their tickets they watched as one lone Southerner purchased a single ticket and returned to his compatriots.<br /><br />The Yanks walked over to the group and asked bemusedly, "how will the five of you ride on a single ticket?" "Watch and see," said the Southerners.<br /><br />When the train pulled into the station the Southern boys ran to the end of one car and packed into the men's lavatory. When the conductor passed and knocked on the door crying "ticket!" one arm came out a crack and handed a ticket to him. The Yankee boys thought this wickedly clever.<br /><br />On the return trip once again the two groups were on the same platform. This time the Yanks proudly sent one of their number to purchase one ticket only and then watched in puzzlement as the Southern boys purchased no ticket at all. "Aren't you guys going to buy a ticket" they asked? "No" replied the Southrons, "this time we will ride for free." "How" asked the yanks. "Watch and see" was the reply.<br /><br />As the train pulled into the station the Yanks ran to the lavatory at the end of one car while the boys from Dixie ran to the one at the other end of the same car. After a moment one Southerner appeared from the lavatory, ran to the lavatory containing the Yanks, knocked on the door and said in a loud voice, "ticket!"Fr.
