A man is in bed with his wife when someone knocked at their front door. He looked at his clock, and it's half past three in the morning. "I'm not getting out of bed at this time," he thought, and rolled over.
Then, a louder knock followed. "Aren't you going to get that?" his wife asked.
So he dragged himself out of bed and went downstairs. He opened the door and there is a man standing at the door. It didn't take the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk.
"Hi there," slurred the stranger. "Can you give me a push??"
"No, get lost. It's half past three. I was in bed," said the man and he slammed the door. He got back up to bed and told his wife what happened.
She said, "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 is drunk," said the husband.
"It doesn't matter. He needs our help and it would be the Christian thing to help him."
So the husband got out of bed again, got dressed, and went downstairs. He opened 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 cried out, "Yeah, please."
So, still being unable to see the stranger he shouted, "Where are you?"
The drunk replied, "Over here, on the swing..."
