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 where a 
drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push. 



&quot;Not a chance,&quot; says the husband, &quot;it is 3 o'clock in the morning! He 
slams 

the door and returns to bed. &quot;Who was that?&quot; asked his wife. &quot;Just some 
drunk guy asking for a push,&quot; he answers. &quot;Did you help him?&quot; she asks. 
&quot;No, I did not, it's 3 o' clock in the morning and it is pouring out 
there!&quot; 

&quot;Well, you have a short memory,&quot; says his wife. &quot;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 you should be ashamed of 
yourself!&quot; 



The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the 
pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, &quot;Hello, are you still 
there?&quot; &quot;Yes&quot; comes 

back the answer. &quot;Do you still need a push?&quot;, calls out the husband. 
&quot;Yes, please!&quot; comes the reply from the dark. &quot;Where are you?&quot; asks the 
husband. &quot;Over here on the swing!&quot; replies the drunk.
