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 gonna to jump."

She said, "Well, think of your wife and children."
He replied, "I'm not married, and I don't have any kids."

She said, "Well then, think of Robert E. Lee."
He replied, "Who's Robert E. Lee?"

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