Probably wrong, but here goes:

 

It wasn't money. It was an actual bill.

Sounds good to me. I was going to say it was a fake note.

Fish. I believe Bernard Shaw is accredited to that spelling.

 

Hmm...Here's a kool puzzle:

 

You can buy this item at any hardware store.

im eagle. im new. but ive loved rush for years.

 

 

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, 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 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????
