I need a push
A man was sound asleep on a rainy night and was aroused from his
sleep by a drunk pounding on his door at 3:00 AM.
His wife says, "Answer the door!".
So he begrudgingly gets up and goes to the door. The guy,
slurring his words and obviously drunk says, "I need a push!".
The man says, "It's 3:00 AM. No! I can't help you." And he slams
the door. He goes back to bed. And his wife says, "What was that all
about?"
The man says, "It was a drunk. He wanted a push. I sent him
packing. It's 3 o'clock in the morning. I'm not about to out in the
rain at this hour!"
The wife reminded him that they had been in a similar situation
and that at about the same hour in the morning, they pounded on a
door and got the help they needed. She shamed him and, feeling
guilty, he got back up, put on his pants and raincoat and went
outside. The guy was nowhere to be seen.
He hollered, "Do you still need help?" "Hey buddy, do you still
need a push?"
Off in the distance, he hears a slurred response, "Yeah! I still
need a push."
The man says, "Where are you?"
The drunk responds, "I'm over here on the swing!"
