A true Southern Belle was visiting Niagara Falls. As she was sight-seeing one early Sunday morning, she saw ahead a young man getting ready to jump off one of the Observation Towers and plunge into the rocky waters below.
Alarmed, she quickly drove her car up beside him and cried, "Don''t do it son -- no matter how bad things are just think of how this will affect your mom and dad." The young man answered, "Both my loving parents are now dead." "Well, than how about your wife and children? Surely they will be devastated if you jump!" the Southern gal reasoned. "I've never been married let alone the possibility of even having a date" he sobbed. Even more desparate to save the young man's life, the woman screamed, "Then for heaven's sake, save yourself at least for Robert E. Lee!!" With that, the young man turned to her and asked, "Who the heck is Robert E. Lee??" upon which the Southern Belle replied, "Never mind you Yankee idiot, go ahead and jump!!" as she drove away!
