You have to work on your delivery. The fact that he's a midget is typically the crucial thing you need to figure out.

A humble man lives in the 100th floor of a skyscraper. Every rainy day, he goes down 100 stories in the elevator to go to work, and returns 100 stories when coming back home from work. Strangely, on normal sunny days, he goes down 100 stories to go to work, and when coming back home, he only goes up to floor 85. Why is this?
