Three guys are travelling together and arrive at a hotel. To reduce costs the three of them elect to share a room and are told at the reception desk the total cost is $30 per night. They each pay $10 to the cashier.
A short time later the manager advises the cashier the discounted rate of $25 per night hasn't been taken into account and that a $5 credit is due.
The porter is summoned to deliver the $5 refund and is given five $1 coins. On the way to the room the porter thinks how can I equally split the $5 among the three people. In order to simplify this he puts $2 in his pocket and then gives the remaining $3 to the occupants, each receiving $1.
Now let's look at who has paid what. Each of the three paid $10 and have received $1 back so they have paid $9 each. 3 x $9 = $27 and the porter has $2 so that's $29. What happened to the other dollar?
The year is 2222 and Mike and Maureen, land on Mars after accumulating enough Frequent Flier Miles.
They meet a Martian couple and are talking about all sorts of things.
Mike asks if Mars has a Stock-Market, if they have Laptop Computers, how they make money, etc..???
Finally, Maureen brings up the subject of Sex. “Just how do you guys do it”..??? asks Maureen.“
Pretty much the way you do,” responds the Martian.
Discussion ensues and finally the couples decide to Swap Partners for the Night and experience one another.
Maureen and the male Martian go off to a bedroom, where the Martian strips.
He’s got only a Teeny, Weeny Member. About half an inch long and just a quarter inch thick.
I don’t think this is going to work,” says Maureen.
“Why”..??? he asks, “What’s the matter”..???
“Well,” she replies, “It’s just not long enough to reach me”..
“No Problem,” he says, and proceeds to Slap his Forehead with his Palm.
With each Slap of his Forehead, his Member grows until it’s quite impressively long.
“Well,” she says, “That’s quite impressive, but it’s still pretty Narrow”..
“No problem,” he says, and starts Pulling his Ears.
With each pull, his member grows wider and wider until the entire measurement is extremely exciting to the woman.
“Wow!” she exclaims, as they fell into bed and made mad, passionate love.
The next day the couples rejoin their normal partners and go their separate ways.
As they walk along, Mike asks “Well, was it any good?”
“I hate to say it,” says Maureen, “but it was pretty wonderful. How about you?”
“It was horrible,” he replies. “All I got was a Headache.
All she kept doing the whole time was Slapping my Forehead and Pulling my Ears.”

Another puzzle (very old)

Leading question
Yes very old puzzle Alan. The $1 has gone no where as it is the way the question is phrased.
Each paid $9 x 3 = $27
porter pockets $2
27-2= $25. ( each receive $1 x 3= 3 + 2= $5). 25 + 5= $30.
