Yes, and yes. I find myself doing that about 1x every three months or so... sometimes, I have to jump start my own car - as a firefighter I run emergency lights, and if I leave them on at the scene, they'll suck my battery dead.

Yes, I have jump started another car.
No, I don't have jumper cables.

It was particularly interesting when I jumped off a six-volt Volkswagen with a twelve-volt Datsun. The VW definitely revved up!
