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, and 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 rain outside!'
His wife said, 'Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us? You should be ashamed of yourself!'
The man, dutifully shamed, gets dressed and goes out into the pouring rain.
He's soaked in seconds but presses on.
He calls out into the dark, 'Hello. Are you still there?'
'Yes,' comes back 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.
"I'm over here, on the swing!" ............replies the drunk.
