Engineering vs. Math (Proceed with caution if you don't like jokes about math majors!) On the train to a math and engineering convention, there was a bunch of math majors and a bunch of engineering majors. Each of the math majors had a train ticket. The engineers had only one ticket for all of them. The math majors started laughing and snickering. Then, one of the engineers said "Here comes the conductor," and then all the engineers went into the bathroom. The math majors were puzzled. The conductor came aboard and said "tickets please" and got tickets from all the math majors. He then went to the bathroom and knocked on the door and said "ticket please" and the engineers stuck the ticket under the door. The conductor took it and then the engineers came out of the bathroom a few minutes later. The math majors felt stupid. So, on the way back from the convention, the group of math majors had one ticket for the group. They started snickering at the engineers, for the whole group had no tickets. Then, the engineer lookout said "Conductor coming!". All the engineers went to one bathroom. All the math majors went to another bathroom. Then, before the conductor came aboard, one of the engineers knocked on the other bathroom, and said "Ticket please."
