Unhappy Puzzle

Three men go to a motel. The man behind the desk says the room is $30. Each man pays $10.
Later the man realized the room was only $25 dollars, so he sent the bell hop to their room with $5.
The bell hop couldn't split $5 three ways so he gave each man $1 and kept $2 for himself.
Each man paid $9 for the room. That's $27 The bell hop kept $2, that's $29. Where did the other dollar go????

Unhappy stupid

This is the stupidist thing I ever posted. You do not add ... you subtract. Only took me about 18 hrs to figure this out P.S. I'm a bookkeeper by trade.
