On rainy days he had an umbrella with him and he used this to reach the 17 button. The problem however was that he was so `thick` it never occur ed to him to bring his umbrella when it was not raining.

Actually if you look closely most large building do not have a thirteenth floor. Well, they do but it is usually not labeled 13. Most of them go from 12 to 14 because people who are superstitious will not stay on that floor. Check it out.
