A very genteel Southern lady was driving across the Mississippi River bridge in Vicksburg one day. As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man standing near the edge of the bridge fixin' to jump.
She stopped her car-- rolled down her window and said, "Please, darlin', please don't jump; think of your momma and daddy."
He replied, "My Mom and Dad are both dead; I'm gonna jump."
She said, "Well then darlin', think of your wife and children."
He replied, "I'm not married and I don't have any kids."
She said, "Well then, for gosh sake, think of Robert E. Lee."
He replied, "Who the hell is Robert E. Lee and why should I think of him?"
She replied, "Well just go on and jump, you dumb-ass Yankee."
