Always loved the old saw: Figures lie and liars figure.
Now way back in school, I was taught how "finite" mathematics was ... until I head this joke: Three guys stop at a motel to rent three rooms. New desk guy says "$10 per room". They plunk down ten dollars each. Later, his boss is looking at the books and says, "You overcharged them, group discount this week, three rooms for $25.00. He hands the new guy five, one dollar bills to take to them. New guy walking to rooms thinks" How can I divide five dollars by three guys???" Decides to make his life simple, gives each guy one dollar each and pockets the remaining two dollars.
Now, each man paid nine dollars for his room (3 x $9 = $27) the crooked deskman kept $2. WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR????
