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 he slams the door. He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened.
'Dave, that wasn't very nice of you,' she says.
'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 was drunk,' says the husband.
'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.'
Thats a good one.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
