Last night I fell asleep on the couch watching the television. Around 2 am I wake up when I heard my storm door being opened. Still in a half sleep stupor I think to myself "Well another nice dream you have going on here", then the front door handle starts to jiggle. The door knob shakes and is twisted again but it will not open because it is locked. I think to myself "Nice sounds effects this is going to be a good scary dream" I dream alot 
Now the way I fell asleep on my couch I can the see front door thru the bay window. When I hear the door knob rattle a second time I realize that this is not a dream but someone is actually trying to break into my house. I pop my eyes open but l stayed still on the couch because I didn't think he was aware that I am in the living room. Then I see him standing on the porch by door, he shakes his head and turns to walk down the stairs and I get a solid look at his face and some solids fill my pants.
As he is walking down the stairs I reach up toward the back of the couch and grab my cell phone. I flip it open and bam half the couch is illuminated by the light from the freakin phone. "Sh!t" I thought "Nothing like throwing gas on a house fire." I take a pillow and hide the phone under the pillow and dial 911.
"911 Operator Do you have an emerency?"
"Yes operator I was awoken to the sound of someone trying to break into my house."
"Whats your address Sir and what is happening?"
"My address is 88 $$$$#### and some one just tried opening my front door. They have walked the stairway now and I can't see them"
"Are they still there Sir and did you get a look at them?"
"I don't know if he is still here but he is about 6 foot tall with a brown gray moustathe and white t-shirt"
"Okay we will send out a deputy for......."
"Wait a minute I hear the side door now operator"
"Ok Sir we are sending out 2 cars and they will be there in a few moments"
"Ok thank you bye"
I hang up the phone and the side door knob is still rattling. I quietly roll off the couch and onto the floor. I make my way over to kitchen and the noises stop. I freeze and kneel down waiting and listening for the next noise. Nothing I can't hear anything and wonder if the dude has left.
Headlights in the front bay window and I hear car motor pulling into the driveway. I go back into the living room and lay down on the couch but I didn't look out the front window toward the drive way. I hear a couple of car doors close and some voices from outside. I get and look out the window to see two sheriff deputys, one has a german shepard police dog. Then I see him again standing there talking to the two deputys.
I walk out outside and they keep asking him his name but he won't give it to them. The deputy with out the police dog asks me " Is this the person you seen thru the window Sir?
"Yes it is Officer thats him"
"Well it appears that this gentleman has had way too much to drink and does not quite understand where he is" he replied.
Holy crap all this excitement cause the guy is drunk and wants to sleep it off.
"Sorry for calling the cops buddy but you can't go around trying to open doors at 2am" I tell the guy.
"Hey no problem man, I am sorry" he answered back.
The deputy with the police dog pulls me over to the side and says" We think he has had way to drink and he only lives a few houses down the road, so we are just going to take him".
I told him "Hey not a problem I don't want to press any charges or anything"
"Okay well we don't want to fill out any paperwork on this, so we will just take him home and let him sleep it off" the deputy told me. And with that I walked back into house and and shaking from the cold and excite I told my wife what happened and started to chuckle over the whole thing.
I have a large street light that hangs about thirty feet in the air on the side of my house that is over the side door but does not illuminate the whole front porch. This morning I went out and bought a floodlight with the motion sensor and when the wife gets home (just had shoulder surgery) it is going to put up by the front door.
