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 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 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
stranger replies, "I'm over here, on your swing."
