Since getting sober back in 1974 and after going to over 3000 AA meetings I picked up a few stories. I just thought of one and wanted to share. El

The Drunk that Needed 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
> is 3 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 is 3 o'clock in the morning, and it's pouring
out
> there!"
> "Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember
> about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped
> us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of
> yourself!"
> The man's heart softens as he realizes his wife is right. He gets
> dressed, and goes out into t he pouring 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.
> "OK, where are you?" asks the husband.
>
> "Over here on the swing!" replies the drunk.

> DID YOU AT LEAST SMILE? :-)
