You'd be surprised how full of Yankees it is these days....... A gentleman was out for a walk one day in Memphis and spotted a man on a bridge who looked like he might jump. Concerned he yelled up at the man "Whatever it is problemming ya don't jump!". The man responded "I can't take it anymore". The gentleman yelled "Think of yor Pa". "He's dead" responded the man. "Then think of your Ma" yelled the gentleman. The man yelled back that she was also dead. "Then in the spirit of Robert Lee don't do it" said the gentleman. "who's that" yelled the man. The gentleman paused. Then shouted "Jump ya damn Yankee! Jump!" Reminds me of the joke from American Werewolf in London (one of my favorite movies): A plane was crossing the Atlantic and started having engine trouble. They have to lighten the load because there are no parachutes. On board are a Brit, a Frenchman, a Mexican and an Texan. After throwing overboard everything they can get their hands on, including the baggage, etc., the plane is still too heavy. First, the Brit stands up, says 'God save the Queen,' and jumps out. But the plane is still too heavy. Next, the Frenchman stands up, says 'Vive la France,' and throws himself from the plane. But the plane is still too heavy. Then the Texan climbs to his feet, shouts 'Remember the Alamo,' and chucks the Mexican out. It sounds a lot better if you picture it being told by a large drunken Welshman in an armpit of a pub. yeah, called the Slaughtered Lamb.
