This addiction will be hard to break. Each trip “Up” in an elevator is like a religious experience to some, a pre-taste of The Rapture. But Heaven can also be achieved through ascending a step-by-step stairway, as Gershwin wrote in his song, “I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise.”

This would be a problem for some who are afraid of the steps involved in a cure!

“What’s the vertical passageway through which an elevator moves up and down between floors? SHAFT!! D@mn right!!”
TheWildSow over 1 year ago
You know, since the goal is actually “humility,” the 12 Steps are often considered to go down, not up.

I have a fear of elevators. I’ve been taking steps to avoid them

And he’s buying a stairway to heaven.

And Tom replies, “Not with these knees, dream on!”.

Why cats will never join a 12-step program:
Step 1: I acknowledge the existence of a higher authority.

And he always gets to ride alone.
Surprised his name isn’t Otis.

Got a real lift out of this one.

Tom looks like he needs the twelve hundred step program.

My knees are leading me to find that particular addiction very tempting.

kinda annoyed that Scott made them all obese. Not everyone who uses an elevator is heavy.

Good news – going down the stairs is much easier; especially if you don’t mind tumbling or sliding.

That’s right! He likes to get “high”!

Very funny, except for those (like me) that cannot negotiate stairs…

Darn thing better be an escalator or I’m out of here.

I’m sure Tom will rise to the occasion.
