Southern Lady

I overheard this joke yesterday between to “young ladies” sitting on a bench at the 12th St entrance to the park.

“A very genteel 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 ready {fixing} 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 I don’t have any kids.”

She said, “Well, think of Robert E. Lee.” He replied, ”Who’s Robert E. Lee?”

She replied, ”Well bless your heart, just go ahead and jump, you dumbass Yankee.”
