If you take an individual man (Man A), he coughed up a ten-buck note to put into the kitty. Then the bell boy gave him one back. You could understand his acquiescence that had only parted with 9 bucks. Then repeat for Men B and C.<BR/><BR/>If I gave you 10 buck and then I got one back I would consider that I had disposed of nine. Wouldn't you?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, would they <I>really</I> be given a refund if the manager had thought he'd got away with it?Maaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444125754967223180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31373365.post-10148093256545833302007-05-09T18:15:00.000+12:002007-05-09T18:15:00.000+12:00I detect runcibility afoot...I detect runcibility afoot...Maaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444125754967223180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31373365.post-19935188426035740152007-05-09T12:19:00.000+12:002007-05-09T12:19:00.000+12:00Maybe the hotel receipt program forgot the zeroes ...Maybe the hotel receipt program forgot the zeroes on the end.<BR/><BR/>And why did three men rent one room for one night?
