Introduction:

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.

''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?''

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