Actually, it's just bad math,

If the hotel only charged $25 for the room (after the $5 error), then the three guys actually only paid $8.33 each (25/3 = 8.33), then if the bellboy gave them each $1 back ($8.33+$1=$9.33 each, $9.33x3=$28.00), and the bellboy pocketed $2, everything works out fine.

Okay,

Always old, sometimes new
Never sad, sometimes blue
Never empty, sometimes full
Never pushes, always pulls
What is it?

I know, not a math question but..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif)

Or an answer for this one...

What does a woman do every day of her life and a man do only once in his life?

Nope a lady friend sent it to me. She's looking for the answer. I sent her back the Husband Store joke. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Now, if
each man (who paid $10) gets $1 back that means they each paid
$9.00 ($10 - $1 = $9 ). $9.00 multiplied by 3 (because there are
three men) equals $27.00 plus the $2.00 the bell boy kept equals
$29.00! What happened to the missing dollar?????


The 2 dollars the bell boy kept need to be substracted from the $27. That makes makes $25 (not $29) which is what the hotel costs...

Yep....the moon.

The (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) smiley was meant as a hint, not a taunt. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Still trying to figure out the "correct" answer to Bruce's. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Things to do at Walmart

15 Things to do at Walmart while your spouse/partner is taking their sweet time:

1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in peoples carts when they aren't looking.

2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.

4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in house wares......and see what happens

5. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.

6. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they bring pillows from the bedding department.

8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. Look right into the security camera, use it as a mirror and pick your nose.

10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.

11. Dart around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the theme from "Mission Impossible."

12. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna look" using different size funnels.

13. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"

14. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"

And last but not least

15. Go into a fitting room, shut the door and wait a while and then yell loudly "There is no toilet paper in here!"

That last one reminded me of when a buddy had his 3yr. old daughter at Home Depot.......turned his back for one minute and she was gone (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) , went around the corner and found her doing a #2 on the display toilet...right on the main aisle (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) .........when you gotta go, you gotta go!

more fun with math ...


From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the BullshiT and Ass kissing that will put you over the top
