Riddle/ joke thread

Be careful answering this one.
I will laugh at you.

3 men go on hunting trip.
They booked separate rooms but when they check in the manager says he only has one room available with 3 beds.
They said OK and he charges them $30. They pay $10 each.
Later the manager realized he should have given the hunters a discount and tells the bell hop to take $5 up to the hunters.
In the elevator the bell hop realized there is no even way to split $5 between 3 men and he pockets $2.
He goes to the room and explains and give the hunters the $3.
So now each hunter has paid $9 for the room.

Agreed?

$9 x 3 = $27 +2[ the bell hop pocketed ] = $29
Where is the other $????

I'll change the riddle just a little to make it even worse.

3 men go on hunting trip.
They booked separate rooms but when they check in the manager says he only has one room available with 3 beds.
They said OK and he charges them $30. They pay $10 each.
Later the manager realized price should have been $10 and tells the bell hop to take $20 up to the hunters.
In the elevator the bell hop realized there is no even way to split $20 between 3 men and he pockets $2. leaving 18, divisible by 3.
He goes to the room and explains and give each of the hunters $6.
So now each hunter has paid $4 for the room.

Agreed?

$4 x 3 = $12 +2[ the bell hop pocketed ] = $14
Where is the other $16????

My vote is portal to another dimension where math actually works.

$4x3=12
Each member refunded $6 x 3 = 18
The 2 pocketed by the bell hops is not in play
