A Man And His Wife Are Awakened

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. 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,” “Did you help him?” she asks. “No, I did not, it is 3 o’clock in the morning and it

is pouring out there!” Well, you have a short memory. 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!” The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding

rain. “Hello, are you still there?” “Do you still need 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!” replies the drunk.
