A man is in bed with his wife when there is a rat-a-tat-tat on
the door. He rolls over and looks at his clock, and it's half past
three in the morning. "I'm not getting out of bed at this time," he
thinks,and rolls over. Then, a louder knock follows.
Aren't you going to answer that?" says his wife.
So he drags himself out of bed and goes downstairs. He
opens the door and there is man standing at the door. It didn't take
the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk.
Hi there," slurs the stranger. "Can you give me a push??"
"No, get lost. It's half past three. I was in bed," says
the man and slams the door. He goes back up to bed and tells his wife
what happened and she says,
"Dave, that wasn't very nice of you. Remember that night we
broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from
the baby sitter and you had to knock on that man's house to get
us started again? What would have happened if he'd told us to
get lost?"
"But the guy was drunk," says the husband.
"It doesn't matter," says the wife. "He needs our help and
it would be the Christian thing to help him." So the husband gets out
of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs.
He opens the door, and not being able to see the stranger
anywhere he shouts, "Hey, do you still want a push?"
And he hears a voice cry out, "Yeah please."
So, still being unable to see the stranger he shouts, "Where
are you?"
And the stranger replies, "I'm over here, on your swing."
