The Drunk |
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 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 raining cats and dogs out there!" "Well, you've got a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down on our vacation and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him." The man does as he is told, gets dressed, 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 replys. |
