It was a  Dark... and Rainy Night...
 
The Hotel Manager yawned as he turned off the TV  
-when  he heard voices.   Three Gentlemen had just arrived  -searching for lodging  on this uneventful,  but stormy night...
 
"Good Evening Gentlemen"   Smiled the Manager...

"We Each need a room for the night..."   -they responded.

Each Man,   gave the Hotel manager,    -$10,  took his room key, and retired for the night.
 
About an hour later
 
The Hotel Manager  felt guilty  for charging  those men  so much for their Rooms. "This place is a dive a hundred miles from nowhere, and those crappy rooms   are just not worth $10..."   -he thought.  
 
So he Rang for the Bell-Hop reached into the cash drawer and gave the bell-Hop  -$5  telling him  to go      and give each of their guests -some of their money back.

On the Elevator the Bell-Hop grumbled -"How  -am I going to give  -$5 to 3 Men ?  

"HEY Those men  don't know  'how much money  I am supposed to give them I got no change, and division isn't my strong suit -anyway..."

So he put $2 into his pocket   and gave each man   -Back  $1.
 
Okay so,  as far as    what I know is true,  the Three Gentlemen, originally paid $10 Each, for their Rooms.
( 3 Gentlemen   $10 -Each:      3 x $10 =  $30 )   so we are talking, about a total of $30.
 
Now I know that  
each man, has  paid $9 for his room,  after the late-night  CASH REBATE  
of each Man, getting back $1...
And   I AM SURE  that  3  x  $9  =    $ 27.
 
Okay now, I know that the Bell-Hop,   has $ 2  -in his pocket...
$27   + $ 2  =   $29
...Now
Who got   the  OTHER Dollar   ? ?
 
Solve  'My Riddle
PM me     

Um, where did you find "Laurel & Hardie" ??

  "Where did you find "Laurel and Hardy" ?

Eh they weren't found, they were made
in my first model-making benge, before the Pink Panther.

They were  first  attempts at making Poser characters.
This is their first outing in quite some time
but I need to use them more often.  

This is a fine example of how something senseless can be presented as if it makes sense. This story, that has many versions, tooks two unrelated numbers and adds them. It's like adding the legs of the desk or the height of the Pink Panther.
Just a little more nosense:
Can you be killing time without hurting Eternity?
Or
What is the colour of the applause made with only one hand?

This should be PMed to leahman that already spanked me ...

This is mine:

Is 0.9(repeating) = 1 ?
