Push
A man is sleeping in bed with his wife when there is a rat-a-tat-tat on the door. He rolls over and looks at his clock: 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?” his wife asks.
So he drags himself out of bed, and goes downstairs. He opens the door and there is man standing right there. It didn’t take the homeowner long to realize the man is 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 babysitter 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 is drunk.” says the husband.
“It doesn’t matter.” says the wife. “He needs our help and it would be the right thing to do.”
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.”

Since gun owners in Australia were forced by law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!In the state of Victoria alone,homicides with firearms are now up 300
percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the
criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the
ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety
has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians
disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,
gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind him of
this history lesson.
During W.W.II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harborhad attended Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attaché to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the country.
It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.
Without Them……. We Are ‘Subjects’.
Minnesota Trucker
As a Minnesota trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers his window and she says, “Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load.” The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street.
Then the truck stops for another red light, the blonde catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up to the truck and knocks on the door.
Again the trucker lowers the window.
As if they’ve never spoken, the blonde says brightly, “Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load!” Shaking his head the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street.
At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath the blonde gets out of her car runs up to the truck and knocks on the truck door. The trucker lowers his window. Again she says, “Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load!”
When the light turns green, the trucker revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, runs back to the blonde. He knocks on her window and as she lowers it, he says….
“Hi, My name is Kevin. It’s winter in Minnesota and I’m driving the SALT TRUCK.”
