Someone knocks on the back door of the Richards house at about 3:30 in the morning. Mr Richards answers, and a man is standing outside, visibly drunk and reeking of cheap whiskey.
"Hey buddy, I'm havin a little trouble out here. Do you think you could come out and give me a push?"
Richards is furious: "look pal, you're obviously drunk, its 3:30 in the morning on a tuesday, you're in my back yard, and I have to get up in two hours. I don't have time for this crap." and slams the door.
He goes back up to bed, and his wife says "honey who was that?"
"Some drunk jerk asking for a push. I told him to go to hell"
"Oh John, how could you do that? Don't you remember last year when we got that flat, and that nice man stopped in the middle of nowhere and helped us change the tire? Help the poor guy out. At least give him a ride home..."
John is annoyed, but he knows he'll never get back to sleep if he doesn't do something, so he goes downstairs to find the drunk. He opens the back door and peers out into the night. he doesn't see the man, so he steps out and calls: "hello... are you still here?"
out of the darkness he hears "yep. Can you give me a puch now?"
"Where are you" John asks
"I'm back here... on the swing"
