A man and his wife are awoken ...
A man and his wife are awoken at 3am by a knock on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a stranger is asking for a push."Not a chance," says the husband. "It's three o'clock in the morning!" He closes the door and returns to bed.
"Who was it?" asks his wife.
"Just a stranger asking for a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No I didn't – it's three in the morning"
"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 returns to the front door 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?"
"Over here on the swing."
