Can you give me a push?

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 the 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 that?" asked his wife. "Just some drunk guy
asking for a push," he answers. "Did you help him?"
she asks.
"No, I did not. It's three in the morning and it's
pouring!" says the husband.
"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Don't
you remember about three months ago when we broke down
and those two guys helped us? I think you should help
him!"
The man, ashamed now, agrees. He gets dressed and
goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into
the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes," comes back the answer.
"Do you still need 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!" replied the drunk.
