A man lives on the 17th floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to the lobby and heads to work. When he comes home he takes the elevator to the 15th floor and takes the stairs to the 17th floor. Why does he do this?

he's a midget. He can only reach the button to the 15th floor, unless it's raining outside. Why you ask? because he hits the 17th floor button with his umbrella.

he's a midget, my sister told me one kind of like that when she was in Alaska dating this guy. she brought him home and he told us this riddle. A man goes to work. He returns and gets on the elevator to his apartnment. he stops at the 19th floor and walks the rest of the way to his 25th floor apartment. the next day it rains, yet he goes to work as usual. when he returns that day ha gets all the way to the 23rd floor and walks the rest of the way. Why? because he's a midget. he has an umbrella the day it rains and can make it most of the way to the top. cool, isn't it

He's a midget and he can't reach the 17th floor button. Dig deeper.

Because he wanted to impress his neighbor who is always in the hallway as soon as he gets off of the stairs. He wanted to show her how much he likes to exercise and how good of shape he's in, but he just didn't want to actually take the stairs the entire way.

Just in case the elevator broke down.

He's a little person who can't reach his floor number in the lift.

He does this cause the number 16 is back luck for him and he avoids anything with 16 on it.

the soldier lost both his legs in Operation Iraqi Freedom.. so he can't reach the top buttons. And since his disability check is so small thanks to my economic policies.. he can't even afford an umbrella to hit that button.
