Where's the dollar?

Rush, Sean and Bill shared a motel. The clerk said the room is $30. So each paid $10. and went to the room.
A while later the clerk realized the room was only $25, so he sent the bellboy to their room with $5.
On the way, the bellboy couldn't figure out how to split the $5 evenly between the three men, so he gave each man $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's the other dollar?

3 men each paid $9 which is $27. $25 of it went to the motel, $2 went to the bellhop. They have $3.
Probably in some dancers G-String ![:D][:D]
$25 is the odd number
Thought for today......
I'm just passing this thought along ....
Have you ever wondered if the one dollar bill in your wallet was ever in a strippers's butt crack?
If not, you're wondering now.
Have a nice day.
Famrer had 17 cows ----
He died ----
his "will" said he wanted to give
1/2 of his cows to his 1st son ---
1/3 of his cows to his 2nd son ----
1/9 of his cows to his 3rd son ---
The attorney was out looking at the cow
pondering on just how he was going to divide
these 17 cows and abide by the farmers wishes --
A neighbor walks up and the attorney tell the
neighbor of his dilemma -- no matter how he did
the math he could not get it to come out ---
The neighbor said tell you what I am going to do ---
I an going to loan you one cow -- then you will
have 18 cows --
you take 1/2 of the 18 {9} -- give them to the 1st son -
you take 1/3 of the 18 {6} -- give them to the 2nd son --
you that 1/9 of the 18 {2} -- give them to the 3rd son --
9 + 6 + 2 = 17 -- then you just give me my cow back ---

1/2 + 1/3 + 1/9 = 94.4%
I know -- I know ----
But it just makes for a good story
