3 traveling salesmen were headed to a convention and since money was tight, they agreed to share a room.
The hotel clerk told them it was $30 so they each kicked in $10
Later the hotel manager was looking at the books and realized the clerk had charged $30 for a $25 room.
He took five $1 bills from the register and headed up to the room to give a refund.
On the way he started wondering how he was going to split $5 three ways.
He was no math genius so he decided to refund each one of the salesman $1 and put the remaining $2 in his pocket, which he did.
So each saleman paid $10 and got one back, or $9 each.
3 times $9 is $27, plus the $2 in the manager's pocket is $29, where the heck did the other dollar go?
I know but it's fun.
