Question Brain Teaser.....whats the answer then ??

A man lives on the 15th floor of a tower block.
Each morning he calls the lift to the ground floor and sets off to work. Each evening he returns home calls the lift but gets out at the 10th floor. He then uses the stairs to walk the remaining 5 floors.
The lift is not broken and he does not go to any other flat.
Why does he do this ?
lol

A man is driving to his father's funeral when he is involved in a serious road accident.
He is rushed to hospital and is lying on the operating table when the surgeon walks in, looks at him and exclaims "That's my son!".

How can this be ?

This is a standard sales/marketing question, about thinking outside of the box. The guy is obviously a dwarf and can only reach certain buttons (heightwise) then comes down or up the stairwell from the floor he can reach.

He's an irresponsible doctor who killed a patient and cant even be arsed to go to the funeral so he made his son go for him. Sounds more like Dr Kavorkian..

How can this be ?
The surgeon is speaking. She is the man's mother, wife/partner/ex/one night stand of the dead man.

The lift only goes to the 10th floor, hence he has to do the last 5 floors by stairs.

Nope, cos he gets the lift all the way from the 15th to the ground floor.
