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 a 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 right 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."
