O/T Jiles ! figure this one out !

3 guys get a room for $10 each,= $30.00, and the Bell boy takes them to their room.

The manager thinks about it and when the Bell boy returns, tells him he charged too much, as they came in on off season, and it wasn't a weekend.

So the manager gives $5.00 to the bell boy to take back to the men in the room, BUT on the way back he is thinking to himself [kinda hard to split $5.00 even to 3 guys], so instead he puts $2.00 in his pocket and gives $1.00 apiece back.

Since the roomers didn't know of any refund.

The men were happy, they only payed $9.00 each since they didn't know what the true refund was.
so in their mind the room cost 3x $9.00 = $27.00

Then you figure the $2.00 the bellboy kept, comes to a total of $29.00.
---Where is the other Dollar ??
DON"T TURN THIS INTO A POLITICAL THING !!--LOL
 
That old joke is just a play on words that any 10 year old can figure out if they put their mind to it.

It is not 27 + 2 but rather 27 - 2.

They paid 30 dollars for the room.
5 is refunded but only 3 gets back to them and the bell boy keeps 2.

So they each think they paid $9 now.
$9 x 3 = $27 - the $2 the bell boy kept = $25 the actual cost of the room.
