"Think of words that end in GRY. There are two words HUNGRY and ANGRY. There are three words in the English language. What is the third word? . The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is."

3 guys each gave you $10 to buy some beer, so you go to the store to pick up some beer, which only cost you $25. So you have $5 left over. You gave yourself $2 for being a cool guy. You go back and give each of the guy $1 back, so in essence they each only ditched out $9 instead of $10, for a total of $27. Now where did that extra dollar go??

What extra dollar? they each pay $9, which gives $27. beer was $25, and you took the $2 that was left. I must be missing something.

There is not extra dollar. It is worded to trick people. Some people just look at it backwords and it confuses them.

A man working on the 80th floor of an office building gets fed up with his job and deceides to jump through the window. However he doesnt die. Nothing slowed his decent and he didnt land on anything soft. Why didnt he die?
