A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o'clock in the morning by a loud pounding on the door.
The man gets up and goes to the door. A drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
"Not a chance," says the husband, "It is 3 o'clock in 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's 3 o'clock in the morning and pouring rain outside!"
His wife said, "Don't you remember about three months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him. You should be ashamed of yourself!"
The man gets dressed and goes out into the pouring rain. He calls out into the darkness: "Hello! Are you still there?"
"Yes." comes the answer.
"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband.
"Yes! Please!" comes the reply from the darkness.
"Where are you?" asks the husband.
"Over here on the swing!" replies the drunk.
