I have five letters. If you take the first and the last I will still be the same. If you take the middle I still remain. What am I?

Tree guys go into a hotel and get a room for the night. The cost of the room is £30 so they pay £10 each.

When they have gone to the room the hotel receptionist discovered he has overcharged the gentlemen. The room should have been £25 so he calls the concierge and gives him £5 to deliver to the room.

On the way to the room the Concierge decides to pocket £2 and return £1 to each of the gentlemen.

So lets do the maths.......

The gentlemen paid £10 each....... 3 * £10 = £30

The concierge returned £1 to each of them, so....... 3 * £9 = £27

And the Concierge pocketed £2

£27 + £2 = £29

Where did the remaining £1 go ?

They paid with a tenner each
£10*3 = £30

And then the bloke has a fiver to give them back from the 30... 30-5= 25

2 goes to the concierge, 1 to each of the people ( 3*1=3...)

2+3 = 5

25 + 5 =...30

There is no £1

But inside golden treasure is hid

There is no gold, it has been stolen on account of there being no lid.

new one....

A father and his son are in a very very very bad traffic accident.. the boy is more badly injured and gets taken to a hospital to the North.. the father gets taken one to the South because he has less major injuries.
When the boys is lying on the operating table, the surgeon takes one look at the boy and says " I cannot work on him, he is my son".

how is this possible?
