Disappearing Dollar
Three guys go into a hotel and ask for a room.
The Hotel owner says, "I only have one room left, but you guys are welcome to share it. It’s $30 a night."
They are desperate so they take it for the night and they each give him $10.
As they go up to the room the owner tells the bellboy, “I accidentally overcharged them. The room is only $25. Here, give them $5 back to them." and hands him 5 singles.
The bell boy puts $2 in his pocket and says "Excuse Me, Gentlemen! You were accidentally overcharged. He is your change." and hands each guy a $1 bill.
With each receiving $1, they have now paid $9 each for the room. $9 * 3 = $27.
The Bellboy has $2 in his pocket. $27 + $2 = $29
???????????????

Schrodinger's cat ate the dollar and choked to death.
NICE!
Someone had to tip the stripper.
You're doing the math wrong. The correct math is:
$27 - $2 = $25.
or another way to look at it....
$30 for the original room - $3 back to the men - $2 "tip" = $25 for the room.
You're welcome.
