Risky business
-
Three actuaries and three accountants are traveling by train to visit a 'Risk Management Conference'. At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three actuaries buy only a single ticket. "This looks very risky. How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?", one of the accountants asks. "Watch and you'll see! Take notice of our brand new risk management approach", one of the actuaries answers. They all board the train. The accountants take their respective first class seats, but all three actuaries 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 crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The accountants were deeply impressed by the actuarial approach and agreed it was - after all - quite a clever idea without any substantial risk. So, completely confident and with even more Risk Management skills gained at the inspiring Conference, the accountants decide to copy the actuaries new risk approach on the return trip and save some money (accountants have always been clever with money!). When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, this time the actuaries don't buy a ticket at all. "This is reckless, how are you going to travel without a single ticket?", one of the perplexed accountants asked. "Watch and you'll see! Take full notice of our latest risk management approach" answered an actuary. When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three actuaries cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the actuaries leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."

Excellent!
