Speaking of that joke, here's an interesting riddle:
Three men go into a hotel & get a room for the night. The clerk charges them $30 for the room, so they each pony up $10. Once they get to the room, the clerk realizes that she made a mistake & that the room is only $25, so she gives a bellhop $5 to give to the three men.
While heading up to the room, the bellhop tips himself $2 for his effort & gives each man $1 when he gets there. In effect, each man actually paid $9 for the room. Thus, 3 X 9 = $27, plus the $2 the bellhop kept for himself brings the total to $29, but...where did that other dollar go?
What's happening? Why isn't the math adding up right?
Hard times die quickly. Hittin' the gas & kickin' a** is forever.
