Late one evening, three men on their way to Vegas decided to pull over at a motel and spend the night. Wanting to save as much money for their Vegas vacation, ther only rent one room.
The manager asks for $30 for the room. Each man puts in $10 as an equal share, they take the room key and retire to the room.
Shortly after the three men leave the managers office, the manager realises thay he overcharged them. The room rate should have been $25 since it was a Monday night. He gives his son $5 to give back to the three men.
The son takes the $5 to the room and on the way decided that he could give them back $3 instead of $5 and pocket the $2 for himself. This would give him some pocket money and make dividing out the cash easy.
The son gives the men their $3 and they split it evenly. This means that the men each paid $9 for the room which totals $27, and the son kept $2, which when all added together equals $29.
What happened to the 'other' dollar?
Three boxes, which one should you take?
Nice one Clark. I will let someone else figure that one out.
Here is one of my favorites that should keep you thinking for a while.
The announcer asks you to pick a box. You choose one of them. The announcer then says, lets open one of the other boxes and reveals that one of the boxes that you did not pick is empty. That leaves only two boxes, the one you chose and another one, one is empty and the other has one million dollars in it.
The announcer (after going to an ad break) now gives you the opportunity to swap which box you chose and take the only other remaining box.
The question is, should you stay with your original choice or should you take the opportunity and swap boxes?
Good Luck!
What difference does it make?
The question is, should you stay with your original choice or should you take the opportunity and swap boxes?
each box has a 1 in 3 chance of having the one million dollars so what difference does it make, they both have the same probability.
The other dollar was tax
The son gives the men their $3 and they split it evenly. This means that the men each paid $9 for the room which totals $27, and the son kept $2, which when all added together equals $29.
I can follow the story but it doesn't make any sense! Why doesn't it add up? I bet the taxman took it.
And one of my favourites:
Once day a huge flood came and a man deeply religious climbed onto the roof of his house as the water rose up so he only had a small place to sit.
Another man in a boat came past and said, "Get in my boat and we can both be saved". He rejected the mans offer and said that god will save him. The man in the boat tried to convince him but eventually gave up and moved on.
Later that day the waters rose so high that even standing on the highest part of the roof, the mans toes were getting wet.
A person in a helicopter cam past and said, "Thank god we found you! Jump on this ladder and we will fly you to safety." Again, the man insited that god will save him and that he did not need their help. The people in the helicopter pleaded that he jump aboard as there was little hope for his survival without their help, but their pleading was to no avail, the man stayed put.
Later that day the waters rose so high that the man was washed from his house. He tried to swim to safety but the current was too strong. The man died and went to heaven.
When the man got to heaven, he asked god: "I have always believed in you and always followed in your ways, why did you no save me from drowinging?". To this god replied, "You didn't get the boat and helicopter I sent you?"
Four fathers went golfing
Got this one on the email:
Four men went golfing one day. Three of them headed to the first tee and the fourth went into the clubhouse to take care of the bill.
The three men started talking and bragging about their sons. The first man told the others, "My son was a car salesman, and now he owns a multiline dealership. He's so successful that he gave one of his friends a new Mercedes, fully loaded."
The second man said, "My son is a home builder, and he is so successful that he gave a friend a new home for free. Just gave it to him !"
The third man, not wanting to be outdone, bragged, "My son is a stockbroker, and he's doing so well that he gave his friend an entire stock portfolio."
The fourth man joined them on the tee after a few minutes of taking care of business. The first man mentioned, "We were just talking about our sons. How is yours doing?"
The fourth man replied, "Well, my son is gay and go-go dances in a gay bar." The other three men grew silent as he continued, "I'm not totally thrilled about the dancing job, but he must be doing well. His last three boyfriends gave him a brand new Mercedes , a new house, and a stock portfolio!"
