I Need A Push

A man and his wife are awakened at 3 a.m. by a loud pounding on their door.

The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger in the pouring rain is asking for a push.

“Not a chance,” says the husband- “It’s three o’clock in the morning!” He slams the door and returns to bed.

“Who was it?” asks his wife.

“Just a drunken stranger asking for a push,” he answers.

“Did you help him?” She asks.

“No, I didn’t-it’s three in the morning and raining out.”

‘Well, you’ve got a short memory,” says his wife. “Can’t you remember about three months ago when we broke down on vacation, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him.”

The man does as he is told and gets dressed and goes out into the pouring rain and calls out into the dark. “Hello-are you still there?”

“Yes,” comes the answer.

“Do you still want a push?” calls out the husband.

“Yes, please!” comes the reply from the dark.

“Where are you?” asks the husband.

“Over here on the swing,” the drunk answers.
