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?“ sayshis wife. So he drags himself out of bed, and goes downstairs. He opensthe door and there is man standing at the door. It didn’t take thehomeowner long to realize the man was drunk.“Hi there.“ slurs the stranger, „Can you give me a push??“ „No, getlost, it’s half past three. I was in bed.“ says the man and slams thedoor.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 downin the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the baby-sitterand you had to knock on that man’s house to get us started again? Whatwould 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 bethe right thing to do.“So the husband out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. Heopens 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.“
