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 a pouring down rain is asking for a push.
\"Not a chance\" says the husband - \"It\'s three o\'clock in the morning!\" He slams the door and returns to bed.
\"Who was it?\" asks his wife.
\"Just a drunken stranger asking for a push\" he answers.
\"Did you help him?\" she asks.
\"NO, I didn\'t-it\'s three in the morning and it\'s pouring out!\"
\"Well, you\'ve got a short memory\" says his wife. \"Can\'t you remember about three months ago when we broke down on holiday and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him.\"
The man does as he is told and gets dressed and goes out into the pounding rain and calls out into the dark: \"Hello, are you still there?\"
\"Yes,\" comes the answer.
\"Do you still want 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\" the drunk replies.
