Two one-legged men went to the store to buy one pair of shoes for $25. Each one paid $12.5. As they gone, the saleswoman recalled that those shoes were cheaper. They costed only $20. And she sent the security officer to catch those men up and give them their money back. He thought about his fee for that operation and he saved $2 for himself and gave them $1.5 each back. So it appears that each one paid $11. Lets check it out: $11+$11=$22 and $2 were taken by the security officer = 24$. The question is where is one more $ ?

Punchline: the extra dollar was taxes.
