<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Honolulu Dick, post: 1003712, member: 24745&quot;]This one is more of a brain teaser than a joke, so don&#039;t expect a clever punchline ending.</p><p><br /></p><p>People were driving flat-out, racing to safety, staying ahead of an approaching tornado.&nbsp; Three of them arrived at a motel at bout the same time.&nbsp; Only one room was available, a large one having two twin beds and a couch that converted into another twin bed.&nbsp; In view of the circumstances, the three strangers agreed that they could cope with this arrangement for one night.&nbsp; The regular fee for the room was $30.00 a night, so each man handed his $10.00 share to the desk clerk.</p><p><br /></p><p>As time passed and the storm raged, the desk clerk came to the conclusion that having strangers sharing a room was an inconvenience and that they had been overcharged.&nbsp; Therefore, he gave the bellboy $5.00 and instructed him to return the money to the three occupants.&nbsp; The bellboy knew that he couldn&#039;t equally divide the $5,00 among the three men, so he returned a dollar to each man and pocketed two dollars for himself. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the final, each man wound up paying $9.00 or 3 X 9 = $27.&nbsp; The bellboy&#039;s pocketed $2.00 brings the total to $29.00.&nbsp; Since $30.00 was originally collected by the desk clerk, where did the other $1.00 go?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
