Ok guys i have a really good one

Theres three guys who want to stay in a hotel for one night
they go to the main desk and the lady there says that a room with three single beds is $30 so they split it and pay $10 each.
They leave their bags at the desk so the bag boy can take them up and the three of them go up to their room. just before the bag boy takes their bags up the lady at the desk realises the room only cost $25 so she gives the bag boy $5 to take to the three guys. the bag boy is a bit cheap and greedy so he keeps $2 of the $5 he was supposed to give to the guys, then to make it even between them he gives them back $1 each because there are three of them and $3 left. so all in all they each payed $10 and each got $1 back so they payed $9. there are three of them and $9x3=$27 plus the $2 the bagboy has eaquals $29
... so wheres the other dollar??

enjoy - gren
