Is there anything that can't be solved...

Ok, 3 men walk into a hotel and to save money, share a room.
The clerk tells them the rooms 30 bucks and each man gives the clerk a 10.
A bell man takes them to the room. When the bell man returns to the desk, the clerk see's he has made a mistake and the rooms not 30 but 26 so he gives the bellman the 4 bucks to take back to the men.

One his way up to the room, the bellman realizes he can't divided the 4 bucks into the 3 men evenly, so he puts a buck in his back pocket. when he get to the room he gives each man back 1 dollar.

Now, each man paid 10 dollars, and each man got back 1 dollar, so, 9 times 3 is 27 PLUS the dollar in the bellmans pocket is 28.... wheres the other 2 dollars?
