A couple is in bed sleeping when there's a rat-a-tat-tat on the door.
The husband rolls over and looks at the clock, and it's half past 3 in the morning.
�I�m not getting out of bed at this time,� he thinks, and rolls over.
Then, a louder knock follows.
So he drags himself out of bed, goes downstairs, opens the door, and there's a man standing there.
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 and I was in bed,� says the man as he slams the door.
He goes back up to bed and tell his wife what happened and she says, �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?�
The drunk replies, �Over here, on the swing.�
