Ok Dave started it.
3 Guys share a motel room at Hutch. They decide to order in a couple pizza's. The pizza guy shows up and the bill is $25. Each guy throws in a $10 bill.
The driver, confused at how he's gonna split the $5 change among the 3 guys comes up with an idea. He'll keep 2 bucks for a tip and give each guy a dollar bill back.
So each guy spends 9 bucks. 9 bucks times 3 guys is 27 dollars. The driver kept 2 bucks, so that $29.
Where did the other dollar go?

Ole shame shame stuck it in his pocket when nobody was looking
There's a bit of a trick to this. Each person put in $10. The driver gave each person back $1 and kept $2. When you add that you get
$25 for pizza
$2 for tip
$3 for change
Which equals $30

GrayRay, I'm not sure, but I think it may predate us by a TAD. I remember watching it on Sunday afternoons, But I think they were reruns even then
