Unlikely Hero

Passengers aboard a luxurious cruise ship were having a great time when a beautiful young woman fell overboard. Immediately there was an 80 year old man in the water who rescued her.

The crew pulled them both out of the treacherous waters. The captain was grateful, as well as astonished, that such a white-haired old man performed such an act of bravery.

That night a banquet was given in honor of the ship’s elderly hero. He was called forward to receive an award and was asked to say a few words.

He said, "First of all, I’d like to know who pushed me."
