Alan and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud
pounding on the door.
Alan 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 Alan, 'it is 3:00 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,' he answers.
'Did you help him?' she asks.
'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, and you
should be ashamed of yourself!'
ALan does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the
pounding rain.
He calls out into the dark, 'Hello, are you still there?'
'Yes,' comes back the answer.
'Do you still need a push?' calls out Alan.
'Yes, please!' comes the reply from the dark.
'Where are you?' asks Alan.
'Over here on the swing,' replied the drunk.
