Three little old ladies were traveling together when they checked into a hotel for the night, and they paid $10 each to share a $30 room. After they went upstairs, the desk clerk realized that he should have only charged them $25 for the room, so he gave five $1 bills to the bellboy to take to the ladies as a refund.
On his way upstairs, the bellboy decided to keep $2 for himself as a tip. He then proceeded on to the room and gave each lady a $1 refund.
Each of the three ladies has now paid $9 for the room, for a total of $27. The bellboy has $2, bringing the total to $29.
What happened to the other dollar?

If you already know this joke, please don't post the answer right away but if you don't, go ahead and give it your best guess. I'll post the correct answer a little later if no one gets it right.
