I think it's because of how big the umbrella looks when being held by a midget. And, I agree, it's mean but it funny! It's one of those things that you can't help yourself!

Morran wrote:*munches happily on the doughnut and hopes he gets another*

He's a midget and can only reach the button to go to the 6th floor.

He goes down to the lobby easily because it's at his height. And when it's raining, he carries an umbrella, so he can use THAT to press the 10th floor button.

:)


~*sigh*~ :wink: Here's another doughnut.

A cookie for Perra! But you all are getting them too quickly!

Here's one that could go on for a while...

The clue:

Bill likes coffee but he doesn't like tea

Examples:

Bill likes rivers but he hates the water.
Bill likes shoes but he hates boots.
Bill likes the dark but he hates the night.


What does Bill like and not like? If you get it, don't say anything, just give an example. I'll tell you, or someone else will, if you got it correct or not. Please no more than one example per person.

Hmm.. I heard one like this before, only it's NOT like this! The answer doesn't fit here.. You really stumped me with the dark/night one. *ponders* I'll have to think about it. For a long, long time. :P Any more examples?

And I don't know anything! As soon as I think I've got it figured out, I'm stumped again.. usually by the dark/night one.

You do realize this is all I'm going to be thinking about during math tomorrow, right? :P

Hmm.. Well, I know which rules it DOESN'T follow.. :P

Wrong ;)

If you know what he doesn't like, then you know what he does like. You can't know one without knowing the other.
