Three lawyers and three engineers were travelling by train to a conference.
At the station, each lawyer bought a ticket whereas the engineers bought
only one ticket between them.

engineers crammed into a toilet and closed the door behind them. Shortly

door and asked, .Ticket please.. The door opened just a crack and a single
arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The ticket collector took it and moved
on. Seeing this, the lawyers decided to the same thing on the return trip.
So when they got to the station, they bought only one ticket. To their
astonishment, the engineers didn.t buy any. .How are you going to travel
without a ticket?. asked one of the perplexed lawyers.
.Wait and watch,. answered an engineer.
In the train, the three engineers crammed into a toilet and the three lawyers
into another nearby. Soon after the train started, one of the engineers got out
of the toilet and walked to one where the lawyers were hiding.
He knocked on the door and said, .Ticket, please..

Fred at last could see a way of making a fortune. He had trained his parrot,
after month of hard work, to tell jokes.
At last he felt ready to cash in on all his hard work, and took the parrot down
to his pub.
.This is my incredible joke-telling parrot,. boasted Fred.
.Go on ,. jeered the pub regulars. .We.ll give you ten to one that your parrot
can.t tell us a joke..
.All right,. replied Fred. .I accept your bet..
But try as he could, Fred was unable to make the parrot talk . let alone tell
jokes.
On the way home Fred shook the bird and shouted: .What do you mean by
keeping quiet? You made me lose a ten to one bet!.
.Don.t worry!. squawked the parrot. .Tomorrow you.ll be able to get fifty to
one..

his head and said: .I.ll just give you a warning this time . don.t break the
speed limit again..

but bollywood movie "3 Idiots" is far better and much more entertaining than costliest movie ever made "Avatar".
