There is too much serious stuff in this world.  we have all been here sometime

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 a good 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?"

The drunk replies, "Over here, on the swing."
