A very gentle Southern lady was driving across the Savannah River Bridge in Georgia one day. As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixing (ready) to jump.

She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, "Please don't jump . Think of your dear mother and father."

He replied, "Mom and Dad are both dead; I'm going to jump."

"Well, think of your wife and children."

"I'm not married, and I don't have any kids."

"Well, think of Robert E. Lee."

"Who's Robert E. Lee?"

She replied, "Well bless your heart, just go ahead and jump, you dumb ass Yankee."
