Don't Imitate

Three ICICI employees and three HDFC employees are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three HDFC employees each buy tickets and watch as the three ICICI employees buy only one ticket.


"How are three people going to travel on only on ticket?"

asks a HDFC employee.

"Watch and you'll see", answers an ICICI employee. They all board the train.



The HDFC employees take their respective seats but all three ICICI employees cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.

Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets.

He knocks on the restroom door and says, "ticket please".

The door opens just a little and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.

The conductor takes it and moves on. The HDFC employees saw this and agreed it was a clever idea.



After the conference, the HDFC employees decide to copy the ICICI employees (.....as they know how.......) on the return trip and save some money (being cleaver with money and all). When they get to the station,

they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the ICICI employees don't buy a ticket. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks a HDFC employee. "Watch and you'll see," answers the ICICI employee.



When they board, the three HDFC employees cram into a restroom and the three ICICI employees cram into another one nearby. The train departs.

Shortly afterward, one of the ICICI employee leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the HDFC employees are hiding.

He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please..."

The door opens just a little and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand the ICICI employee grabs the ticket and runs to his restroom.
