Super

A conversation I had this evening:

Me: "There's someone stuck in the elevator."
Superintendent: "I'm not working today."

Maybe the superintendent thinks he is the elevator.

True.. he had eaten the little Puerto Rican kid in 5B.

P.S. It was Gil.

"Maybe the superintendent thinks he is the elevator."

If the elevator door was a pun, then we wouldn't have had the problem in the first place.

I guess you could claim that you don't work on the first of the month (rent due day).

"Stuck in an Elevator: A Haiku"

The lift stopped working.
Epilogue: the firetrucks came;
The super wouldn't.

If you use the word "lift", then you have to use the word "firelorries".

Actually, chrisdye, "lorry" is not a generic term in British English, but refers specifically to the vehicles that truckers drive. You are, of course, correct that no self-respecting British person would say "firetruck"-- they would most likely use "fire engine".
