Well, we are back from a month in the south and getting settled back in. This house seems SO big after living in a motor home--and the nice thing is I don't have to step on a pedal to flush the toilet! Anyhow, until I get my thoughts together, my brother sent me this via e-mail. I thought it was so cute that I wanted to pass it on to you!

A very gentle Southern lady was driving across the Savannah River Bridge in Georgia one day. As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixing (getting ready) to jump. She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, " Please don't jump. Think of your dear mother and father."

He replied, "Mom and Dad are both dead. I'm going to jump."
She said, "Well, think of your wife and children."
He replied, "I'm not married and I don't have any kids,"
She said, "Well, think of Robert E. Lee."
He asked, "Who's Robert E. Lee?"
She replied, "Well bless your heart. just go ahead and jump, you dumb a-- Yankee!"

The reason this probably caught Bob's eye is Mom and Dad named him Robert E Lee on
a February 20th morning not too many years ago. Rumor has it, he was named after a
boat. Just kidding!! Good one, Bob!
