Have you ever been awakened in the middle of the night by a drunk relative? Most of us have experienced this, and some of us may have even been the drunk relative on the other end of the equation. Very few people love a drunk, but it’s important to remember that this obnoxious drunk is a human being who probably needs your help or at least some compassion. Some people set out drinking with the goal of getting drunk, but we never know the reasons for that. They could be self-medicating to numb some emotional pain, or they may just be wanting to have a good time. As long as they’re not hurting anyone, it’s best to show some compassion if possible. The man’s wife in the joke below totally gets that. But once he figures out what the drunk needs, I’m sure he’s not feeling so kindly towards him. Enjoy this hilarious joke!
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 and he hears a stirring from his wife.
“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 the right 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?”
And the stranger replies, “I’m over here, on your swing.”
