A man is sound asleep in bed with his wife when there is a knock 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. "Are 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 this man standing wobbling on the doorstep. It didn't take the homeowner long to realize he was drunk.
"Hi there," slurs the stranger. "I can't sheem to get it schtarted. Can you gives me a push??"
"No, get lost. It's half past three. I was in bed, says the man and slams the door shut.
He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened - and she says; "Honey, 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 babysitter and you had to knock on that man's door to get the car started again? What would have happened if he'd told us to get lost??"
"But the guy was drunk," replies the husband.
"It doesn't matter," says the wife. "He needs our help - and it's the right thing to help him."
So the husband drags himself out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. He opens the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere he shouts out, "Hey, do you still need a push??"
He hears a voice cry out in the rain, "Yesch, please."
Still unable to see the stranger, he shouts out; "well... where are you?!"
The drunk replies, "I'm over here... on the swing set..."
