A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door.<br /><br />The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.<br /><br /><br />&#39;Not a chance,&#39; says the husband, &#39;it is 3:00 in the morning&#33;&#39; He slams the door and returns to bed.<br /><br />&#39;Who was that?&#39; asked his wife. <br /><br />&#39;Just some drunken guy asking for a push,&#39; he answers.<br /><br />&#39;Did you help him?&#39; she asks.<br /><br />&#39;No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there&#33;&#39;<br /><br />&#39;Well, you have a short memory,&#39; says his wife. &#39;Can&#39;t you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself&#33;&#39;<br /><br />The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, &#39;Hello, are you still there?&#39;<br /><br />&#39;Yes,&#39; comes back the answer.<br /><br />&#39;Do you still need a push?&#39; calls out the husband.<br /><br />&#39;Yes, please&#33;&#39; comes the reply from the dark. <br /><br />&#39;Where are you?&#39; asks the husband.<br /><br />&#39;Over here on the swing,&#39; replied the drunk.
