A farmer in his pickup truck in Alabama was
driving across a bridge when he noticed a man standing on the rail of the bridge ready to
jump to his death in the river below.
The man stopped his truck ran up to the man
and said, "Hey fellow, why are you doing this?"
The man replied, "Well, I have nothing
to live for."
The Alabama man replied, "Well, think
of your wife and children!"
The jumper replied, "I have no wife or
children."
The Alabama man then said, "Well, then
think of your mother and father!"
The man replied, "Mom and Dad passed
on many years back."
The Alabama man then said, "Well,
think of General Robert E. Lee!"
The would-be jumper replied,
"Who?"
With that the Alabama man said, "Jump,
you stupid Yankee, jump!!!"
