Fun, Fun, Fun - Beach Boys

Bryan, we both know I have no secret intentions of you liking my Facebook statuses.

Today, my post will be for the followers.  Post in the comments what you tried and liked or disliked!

A Riddle:
Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance.  They each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room.  A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5.  He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in.  The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends.  He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day!  Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room, which is a total of $27 for the night.  We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 that was originally spent.  Where did the other dollar go?

A funny Sign:
 
Oh, the memories:

Bryan, a few days ago you asked me a question.


My answer:


Goodbye Bryan.
