I was told this sort of joke the other day and i still cant work it out ull
A German tourist goes into a hotel in Ireland and says he wants to see the rooms before he commits to booking in, he leaves 100 euros with the reception and get given a key to go check out the room, the receptionist immediately nips out to the butcher round the corner and gives him the 100 euros which he owed him for butchermeat, the butcher then takes the 100 euros round to the local mechanic who fixed his van and settles up with him, the mechanic then rushes round to the local hooker and gives her the 100 euros which he owed her for the night before, she then goes back into the hotel to the receptionist and pays him the 100 euros she owed for a room, at that point the German tourist appears picks up the 100 euros and says he didnt like the room. Everyone seems to have paid off their debts....
hmm now i think about it, the receptionist lost out from being paid by the hooker, right? But he's the only one out of pocket, how come?

It's told as a joke but it is in fact, true. In this case, all the bills were paid and the German still got his money back...

Aaaah J-bay! What an awesome spot!
Well my new job is rather delightful -- you might wanna have a look for Mrs T's Xmas pressie (wink wink)!
I'm enjoying it so that counts!"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it"
