Three men went into a hotel to rent a room. The desk clerk said they had one upstairs and that it would be 30.00 so each man gave him a 10 dollar bill.
Later the hotel manager came in and the clerk told him that he rented the last room upstairs and got the 30.00 for it. The manager said that he overcharged and the room was only 25.00 so he told him to take 5.00 back up with apologies
The desk clerk got into the elevator with five one dollar bills. On the way up he wondered how he would split 5 dollars between three men. Finally he decided to give them each a dollar back and keep 2 dollars for a tip.
So.... How much did each man originally pay for the room? ans: 10 dollars
The clerk gave them each a dollar back so now how much did each man pay? ans: 9 dollars
Well if 9 times 3 is 27 and the clerks two dollars makes 29 dollars, where is the other dollar to make 30?

A man had two identical homes. One was in the U.S. and the other in South America. Everything in the homes were exactly the same--furniture, wallpaper, appliances, etc. --everything. At a party in the U.S., he got drunk and passed out. His friends tried to play a trick on him and flew him to his home in S.Am. The next morning he woke up and went to the bathroom and realized he was in S. Am. How did he know? (No he didn't look out the window or use the phone, etc.--just went to the bathroom.)
Answer: the water in the flushed toilet went clockwise instead of counterclockwise because he was in the southern hemisphere.
