Riddle me this...
 

I have this thing for Riddles...

So here are the rules...no more than 6 lines for each...the next person guesses what it is and then gives another riddle

Here is a sample:

When you get hot i roll on
When she spreads my tip guides you
When the searchers go i stop them

What am I??? ----A condom....

Let's see now...
"I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball."

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????

hmm... here goes....
they paid $25 for the room, $1 each change, and $2 for the bellhop, giving $30. The $27 quoted ( 3 by $9 ) was not for the room, but for room plus bellhop.

on to simpler times... :p
