Three men registered in a hotel and asked for three separate rooms at ten dollars each, so the clerk received thirty dollars from the three men. The next day the clerk found that these three rooms should have been let for twenty-five dollars instead of thirty dollars, so he called the bell boy and gave him the five dollars rebate to give back to the three man. The boy gave the men one dollar each and kept two dollars for himself. This meant that each man, instead of paying ten dollars, actually paid nine dollars. This makes twenty-seven dollars for the three men; the page boy had two dollars; 27 plus 2 equals 29, so where did the other dollar go? |

so's I don't spoil it for those still ciphering...
there is no other dollar. the men paid $25 net, each contributing $9 and the bell boy taking the $2 difference between the $27 total paid and $25 charged.
good one, though. post another. |

4 men checked into a Bed-n-Breakfast, "Les Cinq Saisons", each ordering a room for $190. The proprietor offered to lodge the weary travelers for a sum of $10.00 each per night. The 4 men paid forty dollars, but $760 was due, so where did the missing $720 go?
Trick question! You can't prove the proprietor charged anyone! The revenue is all made up! Taxes Schmaxes. Income schmincome.
Okay, I'll stop that.
Truth is, the 4 men were related to the proprietor, so in lieu of the $720 balance, they left a hand-signed note in a book thanking the proprietor for the lovely stay.
The missing revenue went unchecked, and the taxes uncollected.

So who let you off your leash Trapper?
I suggest you keep your sick humor and comments about me off the boards. If it's trouble you're looking for, then you're barking up the right tree!!
