Got sent this the other day ... And I just can't figure it out ... It's doing my head in!! :conf:

THE MISSING POUND!

3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL.
THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS £30, SO EACH MAN PAID £10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY £25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH £5.

ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT £5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A £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 IS THE OTHER POUND?

(my answer was that they are oviously total batty boys, sharing a room like that ... but it still doesn't explain the missing quid ... unless its up one of their arses ... fags ...)

The dinner cost 25, the tip was 2 and 3 was returned making 30.

My favourite one doesn't work when you read it......you have to say it - but here it is so you can annoy your workmates with it....


20 people stood around a pool....

They all jump in.....

24 heads come up....

How is this possible ??


(answer: 20 FOREHEADS come up)
