OT: It was 3:AM on a stormy night when John and Suzy were awoke from their sleep from a ring on their doorbell.

Not wanting to get out of bed at that ungodly hour, John said to Suzy, "if you want to answer it, go ahead, but I'm not getting outta bed for no one!"

Suzy got up, threw her robe on, and proceeded to the front door, where she found a stranger standing in the pouring rain, appearing somewhat drunk. Opening the door and asking what was wrong, the stranger replied with an apology for the inconvenience, but asked if there was anyone there that could give him a push?

Still half asleep, Suzy said she would go ask her husband.

When she got back to the bedroom, John asked who it was. Suzy said, "there's a half drunk man there that needs a push. Honey, will you help the poor man out?"

John, almost lashing out, replied with a "you must be crazy if you think I'm gonna get outta bed at this hour, in the pouring rain, to give a half drunk man a push!"

To which Suzy responded, "but honey, don't you remember when we ran outta gas on that dark, lonely road last month and that stranger gave us a ride to get a can of gas. He even poured the gas into the tank for us and returned the can, too!"

John was stuck. There was no talking his way outta this one. So, John dragged himself outta bed, threw his raincoat and golashes on, wiped the sleep outta his eyes, and proceeded out the door. It was dark out, and he couldn't see anything or anyone, so he yelled out, "where are you?"

From the back yard, he heard a half-drunk voice yell out,















"Over here (hic'p)....on the swingset!"
