A man and his wife were awakened in the middle of the night by a loud pounding on the door.
The man got up and went to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, slurringly asked for a push.
"Not a chance," said the husband, "it’s pouring rain and 3:00 in the morning!" Slamming the door, he returned to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Some drunk guy asking for a push." he answered.
"Did you help him?" she asked.
"No, I did not, it’s 3:00 in the morning and pouring rain out there.”
"Well, you have a short memory," said his wife. "Remember those two guys who helped us when we broke down about three months ago? You should be ashamed of yourself! God loves drunk people, too, you know! I think you should help him.”
Unhappily, the man dressed and went out into the pounding rain, muttering all the while.
"Hello, are you still there?" he called out into the dark.
"Yes," came an answer.
"Do you still need a push?" called out the husband.
"Yes, please!" came the reply out of the dark.
"Where are you?" asked the husband.
"Over here, on the swing ," said the drunk.
