A man and his wife are awakened early in the morning by a loud pounding on their door. The man gets up and answers the door to find a stranger standing in the pouring rain.
"I need a push," says the stranger.
"Not a chance," says the man. "It's 3 A.M." He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some guy asking for a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No, It's 3 A.M., it's pouring, and I think he was drunk."
"Don't you remember when we broke down three months ago and two guys came along and helped us?" asked the wife. "You should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself."
The man gives in, gets dressed, and heads out into the pouring rain to help the stranger. He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?
Do
you still need a push."
"Yes, please!" comes back the answer.
"Where are you?" asks the man.
"Over here on the swing!"
"I need a push," says the stranger.
"Not a chance," says the man. "It's 3 A.M." He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some guy asking for a push," he answers.
