A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o'clock in the
morning by
loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes
to the
door where a drunken stranger standing in the pouring
rain, is
asking for a push.
"Not a chance," says the husband, "it is three
o'clockin the
morning!"
He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No, I did not, it is three in the morning and it is
pouring out!"
"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife.
"Can't you
remember about three months ago when we broke down
and those
two guys helped us?"
"I think you should help him, and should be ashamed
of your
self !"
The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out
into the
pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, "Hello,
are you
still there?"
"Yes," comes back the answer.
"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband.
"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.
"Where are you?" asks the hus band.
"Over here on the swing!" replies the drunk.
