Sometimes I miss the South

Beth at MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, who lives in Alabama, posted a joke last night that really made this former Tennessean grin. It’s short enough that I’m just going to copy the whole thing:
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 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, just go ahead and jump, you dumb ass Yankee.”
