An oldie, but still funny...

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 to himself, 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 very 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 in the morning and I was in bed," says the
man and he slams the door.

He goes back upstairs to bed and tells his wife what happened.

"Dave, that wasn't very nice of you," she says. "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 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 decent
thing to help him."

So the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. Opening
the door, and being unable 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?"

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