A loud pounding on the door awakened a man and his
wife at 3:00 am. 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's 3:00 in the
morning!" He slams the door and returns to "Who as
that?" from his wife..."Just some drunk guy asking for
a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No, I did not, it's 3 am in the morning and it's
blooming well pouring with 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! God loves drunk people too, you know."
The man does as he's told, gets dressed, and goes out
into the yard. 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 dark.
"Where are you?" asks the husband.
"Over here on the swing," replied the drunk.
