4)this one i rember from junior high--
Three guys walk into town. They go into a hotel and ask for a room they can share. The clerk has just the thing they want for thirty dollars. The clerk sends them to the room, takes out the ledger, and realizes that he made a mistake. The room costs only twenty-five dollars. Now he has to divide five dollars evenly three ways. Can't be done. So the clerk pockets two dollars, tells the guys that he made a three dollar mistakeand gives them each a single. Now, each man paid only nine dollars for his share of the room. Nine times three equals twenty seven, plus the two in the clerk's pocket equals twenty nine. Where's the other dollar?

Well the clerk had to give them the money back.
Clerk has:
$30-$25 (room) = $5
$5-$2 (for the thieving *****) = 3 dollars..... The clerk must now give each guy 1 dollar. It's not a matter of adding the $2.. you have to subtract the $2 to get even with the cost of the room.

Think of words ending in -gry. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everybody uses everyday. If you have listened carefully, I've already told you what it is.
