Sorry the intrusion but all this morality, or lack thereof, reminded me of a story.
Three fellows go to a hotel room and the clerk charges them $30 for the night. (Many a year ago, right?)
However, the clerk checking his ledger discovers that room is really only $25 so he gives the bellboy five $1 bills to return to the men.
On his way to the room the bellboy says to himself, “These guys won’t know the difference.” So he pockets $2 for himself and returns $3 to the men.
So, the men paid $27 for the room (30-3). The bellboy kept $2.
$27 + $2 = $29. What happened to the extra dollar?
