A Sweet Little Ole' Texas Lady

One day, a very gentle, Texas lady was driving across a high bridge in
Austin.
 

As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixin to
jump. ("fixin to" in Texas means "getting ready to").

She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, "Please don't
jump! Think of your dear mother and father."

He replied, "My mom and dad are both dead; I'm going to jump."

She said, "Well, think of your sweet wife and precious children."

He replied, "I'm not married, and I don't have any kids, I'm going to
jump."

She said, "Well, then you must remember the Alamo."

He replied, ''What's the Alamo?''

She replied, "Well, bless your heart!  You just go ahead and jump....
you little Yankee Democrat .... You're holding up the
traffic!!!
