Day Brightener – A Very Gentle Texas Lady

BridgeOne day, a very gentle Texas lady was driving across the high bridge over the Houston Ship Channel. 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.

She said, “Well, then you just 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 Sonofabitch…You’re holding up traffic

  1. Loren, for some reason I am getting duplicate emails from your blog.  I love getting them but don’t need two.  Can you do anything?  Don’t get rid of both though, I look first thing in the morning to see what you have to say. Sharon
