A very gentle Texas lady was driving across a high bridge outside San Antonio one day. As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixin’ to jump. She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, “Please don’t jump! Think of your dear mother and father!”
“Mom and Dad are both dead,” he said sadly, then turned back toward his doom. “I’m going to jump!”
“Wait!” she said. “Think of your wife and children!”
“My wife left me,” he replied, “and I don’t have any kids.”
“Well, then,” she said, grasping at straws, “think of the Alamo!”
He replied, “What’s the Alamo?”
“Well bless your heart,” she said. “Just go ahead and jump, you dumb ass Yankee!”
