My Ride: Collected Sept 2009 - BMW E90 M3, Silverstone II, Novillo Black leather, 19" M Double-Spoke alloys, High Beam Assist, Electronic Damper Control, Voice Control, PDC, USB, DAB, High Gloss Shadowline, Sliding armrest, Trim Finishing in aluminium grey.
Three Irish and three English men are traveling by train to a conference.
At the station, the three English men each buy tickets and watch as the three Irish buy only a single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an English.
"Watch and you'll see," answers an Irish. They all board the train.
The English men take their respective seats, but all Irish cram into a Toilet and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet 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 English men saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, they decide to copy the Irish on the return trip and save some money.
When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Irish men do not buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?", says one perplexed English.
"Watch and you will see", answers an Irish man.
When they board the train, the three Engilsh men cram into a Toilet and the three Irish cram into another one nearby.
The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Irish leaves his Toilet and walks over to the Toilet where the English men are hiding.
He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."

A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment, they both manage
to get to sleep, the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower.
In the middle of the night, the woman leans over and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket."
The man leans out and, with a glint in his eye, says, "I've got a better idea....let's pretend we're married."
"Why not," giggles the woman.
"Good", he replies. "Get your own f*@#ing blanket.
