3 Fishermen found a motel the night before a big fishing tournament. The motel clerk said he had 1 room left for $30 bucks.
The men agreed and each paid $10.
When the manager returned, the clerk notified him of the last room rental and told him he charged $30.
The manager pointed out a sign that said the room should only be $25. He took 5 one dollar bills out of the till and asked the clerk to refund the money to the fishermen.
The clerk (being perturbed and a little greedy) took the 5 $1 bills and went to the mens room and told the men he had $1 dollar refund for each of them.....that he had mistakenly overcharged. The three men then gladly accepted the $1 refund.
The clerk stuck the other $2 in his pocket!
Now the question is: The men originaly paid $30. And now, thanks to the $1 refund, each man has now paid $9, thats $27 bucks, and the clerk has $2 in his pocket, that makes $29 bucks......then where is the other dollar??????? :shrug:
