Can you figure this out??

3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM. A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5. ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF. THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29. WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

The flaw is in the phrase "ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29." This should not be added; it should be subtracted, since the $2 the bellboy got is part of the $27 dollars the three men spent altogether. If you subtract the $2 from the $27 you get the $25 that goes into the till.

That is, since each man has now paid $9 for the room (3 x 9 = 27), and the bellboy has $2 in his pocket (27 - 2 = 25), the rest of the money is in the hotel till.

In summary, the trick is to realize that the $2 has to be subtracted from the $27, not added to it.

Picture the scene....

Stevie Wonder is playing a gig in Tokyo.

The crowd is going wild when a young Japanese man at the front says,

"Stevie Wonder, you play a jazz chord, you play a jazz chord!"

So Stevie plays an F# minor on his keyboard and goes off on a jazz number.

The Japanese man says, "No Stevie Wonder, you play a jazz chord!"

So Stevie tries an A and off he goes with the band on this amazing improvised number.

When he's finished, the lad says,

"Velly good, but Stevie, we want a jazz chord, a jazz chord!"

By now old Stevie is a little confused.

"What do you mean, play a jazz chord? I've just done 2 for you..?" he says to the fan.

"But it best song of Stevie Wonder! It velly famous!" comes the reply.

"Ok, well how does it go then?", enquires the blind musical genius.

The young Japanese man clears his throat and starts to sing:

Wait for it...............................................

"A jazz chord..............to say...... .......I ru----v you..."

gas station in Mississippi was trying to increase it's sales so the

owner put up a sign saying "Free Sex with Fill-up."

Soon a local "redneck" pulled in, filled his tank, and then asked for

his free sex. The owner told him pick a number from one to ten and

if he guessed correctly, he would get his free sex.

The buyer then guessed eight. The proprietor said, "You were close.

The number was seven. Sorry, no sex this time."

A week later, the same "redneck", along with a buddy, Bubba, pulled

in for a fill-up, again he asked for his free sex. The proprietor again

gave him the same story, and asked him to guess the correct number.

The redneck guessed two this time and again the proprietor said,

"Sorry, it was three. You were close, but no free sex this time."

As they were driving away, the "redneck" said to his buddy, "I think

that game is rigged and he don't really give away free sex."

Bubba replied, "No it ain't Billy Ray, it ain't rigged -- my wife won

twice last week."

If you had read it properly the other dollar went to the BELLBOY for his tip

While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 70-year-old Massachusetts

business Tycoon (whose hand had been caught in a fence while working at

his country home), a doctor and the old man were talking about Senator

John

Kerry possibly being in the White House one day.

The old Tycoon said, "Well, ya know, Kerry is a 'post turtle'." Not

knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a post

turtle was. The old man said, "When you're driving down a country road

and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's

a post turtle."

The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued

to explain, "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong

there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just

want to help the poor stupid bas*ard get down".

A man is out driving happily along in his car late one Saturday night. Before too long, the cops pull him over. The policeman walks up to the man and asks, “Have you been drinking, sir?”

“Why? Was I weaving all over the road?” the man answered.

“No,” replied the policeman, “you were driving splendidly. It was the ugly fat chick in the passenger seat that gave you away.”
