Man and wife are fast asleep in the middle of the night in their countryside cottage when they're woken by a knock at the door.
The husband puts on his robe, goes downstairs and answers the door to stressed out, drenched from the rain, desperate-looking man.
“I’m sorry to knock at such an hour but could you give me a push? I just can’t seem to get started”
The husband looks outside and sees the lashing rain and replies: “sorry mate…it’s just too late…I’m in bed with my wife” and closes the door on the poor, soaking fellow.
As he gets back in bed his wife asks “Who was it? What did they want?”
“Oh…it was just some bloke who wanted a push…. I told him “no”
His wife, disappointed in her husband, replied: “but…remember when we got stuck at night in the rain and couldn’t get anywhere and that man came and gave us a push?”
Feeling slightly guilty the husband gets back out of bed, puts on his robe and says “you’re right…I’m going to see if he’s still there” and runs downstairs, opens the front door and shouts “MATE …MATE …. DO YOU STILL WANT THAT PUSH?”
A distant voice replies “yes please”
Husband: “WHERE ARE YOU?”
Man: ”I’m over here on the swing!!”
