Friday afternoon humor

[mac56]

A suburban couple are asleep in their home, when there is a loud rat-a-tat-tat on the downstairs door.

The husband 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 hour," he thinks, and rolls over. Then, a louder knock follows.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" says his wife.

So the husband drags himself out of bed, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. He opens the door and there is a man standing at the door. It didn't take the husband long to realize the man was drunk. Not just drunk: plastered.

"What do you want?" the husband asks.

Weaving back and forth, the man slurs, "Can you give me a push??"

"No!" answers the husband. "It's half past three in the morning. You got me out of bed! And you're drunk! Get lost, go sleep it off, and get some help in the morning!" He slams the door and goes back up to bed.

His wife asks, "What was that all about?"

"It was some drunk guy at the door," replies the husband.

"Well, what did he want?" the wife queries.

"He wanted a push," the husband says. "I told him to get lost."

"Well," scolds the wife. "I'm ashamed of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick up the kids? And you had to knock at 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," chides the wife. "He needs help, and it would be the right thing to help him. Now go!"

Grumbling, the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. He opens the door, but it's dark outside and he can't see the man. He shouts, "Hey, are you out there?"

A distant voice slurs, "Yes."

"Do you still need a push?" asks the husband.

The voice responds, "Yes, please."

Still unable to see, the husband asks, "Where are you?"

"Over here," the voice replies, "on your swing set."
