Three PAFOA members decide to go to the new indoor range. They arrive at the range, and the man at the counter tells them it will be $30.00 for an hour of range time. They each give the man a $10.00 bill, and proceed to go shoot.

While the PAFOA folks are shooting the counter guy realises that he made a mistake, and should only have charged them $25.00 because they mentioned PAFOA.

When the three finish shooting, and are on their way out, the counter guy explains his error, and lays five $1.00 bills on the counter. The three shooters thank the man for his honesty, and each of them takes one dollar. Not wanting to try and split up the $2.00 remaining between three of them, they tell the counter man to keep it as a tip.

So each PAFOA member ended up investing $9.00 after the $1.00 rebate, and the counter man has a $2.00 tip.

Here's the problem -- 9 x 3 = 27 and 27 + 2 = 29. So where did the other dollar go ? We started with $30.00 !

Somebody get the popcorn. You are so in for it. What in God's name would prompt you to post such an inflammatory thing today? I am standing by with a bucket of cold water if the fight gets too ugly.
