Jokers Wild

Kia Ora you fullahs (and gidday dingos)
Three Australians and three Maori's are travelling by train to a  Rugby match at the World Cup in England. At the station, the three  Aussies each buy a ticket and watch as the three Maori's buy just one
ticket between them.
 
"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks  one of the Aussies. "Watch and learn bro," answers one of the Maori's
 
They all board the train. The Aussies take their respective seats  but all three Maori's cram into a toilet and close the door behind them.
 
Shortly after the train has 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 Aussies see this and agree it was quite a clever idea. So after  the game, they decide to copy the Maori's on the return trip and save  some money (being clever with money, and all that).
 
When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the  return trip. To their astonishment, the Maori's don't buy a ticket at  all!!
 
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed  Aussie.
 
"Watch and learn bro ," answers a Maori .
 
When they board the train the three Aussies cram into a toilet and  soon after the three Maori's cram into another nearby. The train  departs.
 
Shortly afterwards, one of the Maori's leaves the toilet and walks  over to the toilet where the Aussies are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket please."
