Dumb Yankee

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 a-fixin' 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," she yelled.

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

Exasperated she hollered, "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."

That was funny. smileys Being born a Southerner, I can enjoy it...being raised a Yankee, I can be insulted...what internal conflict I have. Thanks for the laugh!
