Math is my specialty

A man lives in a hotel on the 28th floor (there are 30 floors). Whenever he returns very late at night from a night club, he enters the elevator, gets off at the 8th floor, and walks the rest of the way up the stairs to his room. However, when he gets up bright and early in the morning for a jog, he enters the elevator and rides it all the way down to the lobby.

Why is this so?

since ults isnt posting 1, i will

1-2-3-4-5-6

I am a 6 letter word.
Letters 6-5-2 spell out a drink.
Letters 4-5-2-3 spell out a fruit.
Letters 1-2-6 spell out a pet.
Letters 3-2-6 spell out a pest, which often gets eaten by 1-2-6.
What am I?

Can't fool me: carpet

Arange the numbers 1 to 9 in a 3 by 3 square so that every row, column, and diagonal adds up to 15. If you don't understand, then look at this:

XXX
XXX
XXX

Fill in the X's with the numbers 1 to 9 like I explained above.

What king can you make if you take
the head of a lamb
the middle of a pig
the hind of a buffalo
and the tail of a dragon?

*note* this is a real animal, you can find them at the zoo

4 + 5 + 2 does not equal 15, nor does 3 + 9 + 7, nor 4 + 9 + 6 nor 8 + 9 + 2.

A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a shotgun and points it at him. The man says, thank you and leaves. Why?
