A farmer and his wife were in bed one night when there was a knock on the door. The farmer got out of bed and answered the door. There was a drunk cowboy standing at the door and the farmer bluntly says, "What do you want?"
The cowboy replies, "I want a push. Can you help me?"
"No, and go away!" says the farmer as he slammed the door.
He climbed back into bed and his wife asked, "Who was at the door?"
"Oh just some drunk who wanted a push." said the farmer.
"Well did you help him?" said the wife.
"Nope." says farmer.
"Darling, don't you remember about 20 years ago when our old truck broke down in the middle of nowhere on the side of a road? Every car went past us and you were so angry until a good Samaritan came along and towed us back to town." says the wife.
"I guess your right dear." says the farmer.
So he climbed out of bed and went outside and yelled, "Are you still there?"
"Yep." says the drunken cowboy.
"Where are you then? Come on I don't have all night." says the farmer.
"I'm over here." says cowboy.
"Where?" asked the farmer.
"On the swing." answered the cowboy.
