A man and his wife were awaken at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the main door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, asked for a push.
"Not a chance," he says, "it is 3:00 in the morning!" slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some drunk guy asking for a push."
"Did you help him?"
"No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!"
"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. You should be ashamed of yourself!"
The man thinks about it, gets up and gets dressed. He goes out into the pounding rain and calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes."
"Do you still need a push?"
"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark again.
"Where are you?"
"Over here on the swing."
