A man lives on the 10th floor of a building. Every day he gets in the elevator, rides down to the ground floor and goes to work. When he comes home from work, he gets in the elevator rides up to the 5th floor but has to take the stairs the rest of the way up to his apartment on the 10th floor. Except on rainy days; on rainy days when coming home from work, he rides the elevator all the way up to the 10th floor to his apartment.
Why must he take the stairs when it's not raining?
Why does he ride the elevator to the 10th floor only when it's raining?

He is a little person; when he leaves for work he can push the 1st or ground floor button. Coming home on a day when it's not raining, he can only reach as high as the 5th flr button; if it's raining, he has an umbrella with him, in which case he'll use the umbrella to push the 10th flr button. Am I right? Where's my lollipop?

The man is too short to reach the button for the 10th floor. When it’s raining, the man has an umbrella that he uses to reach the button for the 10th floor : )

He's a dwarf. When it's rainy, he has an umbrella with him, and so he can press the 17th floor button in the elevator. When it's sunny, he can only reach the 10th floor button. :)

He's a midget. He can reach the 1st floor button because it is on the bottom. He can only reach to 5 on the way back, except for rainy days because he uses his umbrella to reach 10.

He's a midget,so he can't press any buttons that are on top of 5. But he can, when he uses his umbrella,which he can only have during rainy days.

The man is a midget. He can't reach the upper elevator buttons, but he can ask people to push them for him. He can also push them with his umbrella

Because he over eats on days its not raining and he wants to burn off the extra calories. On days it rains he gets drunk and typically falls down the stairs.

he is too small too press the highest button, and the only thing that will enable him to on directly to the top is to use his umbrela to press the highest button.....nice one!!!!
