A man is asleep 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.
"Damn! I'm not getting out of bed this time of night!", he thinks, and
rolls over. Then, a louder knock follows. "Aren't you going to answer
that?" asks 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 is 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 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 drunk replies "I'm over here, on your swing set"
