Two of you guys and Mistress (why not? This one needs some brains) go into a bar.
(You pick which guys and which bar)
You order drinks for awhile, and then it’s time to go.
(Again - You pick where to)
The barkeep gives you the tab - it’s $30.00.
Good thing, because each of you only has a ten dollar bill.
You each put your ten on the tab and hand it back to the keep.
As he’s ringing it up back at the till, the manager comes up behind him and tells him he’s made an error.
That some of your drinks were during happy-hour, and the total should be $25.00, not $30.00.
So the keep comes back to your table as you are all about to leave. Apologizes for his error. And puts 5 one dollar bills on the table.
The three of you look at each other and try to decide how to split the $5.00 three ways.
Mistress (see, I told you you’d need her there for this), being the smart one, says: “Why don’t we each take a dollar, and leave the remaining $2.00 for the keep for being so honest??”
You all think that’s a splendid idea, and do just that.

Now - Let’s do some easy math and answer a question:

You each originally gave $10.00 each for the $30.00 tab.
You each took back $1.00 from the $5.00 the barkeep brought back after becoming aware of his error.
You decided to leave $2.00 as a tip for his honesty. (his thanks to the Mistress, btw)
So - You’re each out $9.00 each for the drinks and you gave $2.00 for the tip.
$9.00 times the three of ya, is $27.00. Plus the $2.00 tip, comes to a total of only $29.00!!

What happened to the missing dollar from the original $30.00 you put down ?????
