A very gentle Southern lady was driving across the Savannah River Bridge in Georiga one day As she neared the top ofthe bridge, she noticed a young man fixen (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."
She said, "Well, think of your wife and children."
He replied, "I'm not married and don't have any kids."
She said, "Well think of Robert E. Lee."
He replied, "Who's Robert E. Lee?"
To which she replied, "Well bless your heart, just go ahead and jump. you dumb Yankee."
