Note the correct usage of "Bless your Heart"

Gentle Southern lady

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 afixin' (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 replied, ''Who the hell is Robert E. Lee?''

She replied, ''Well bless your heart, just go ahead and jump, you dumb ass Yankee.""

You forgot the clause.  One never uses the saying without the clause!

LOL No, that one is all my own. I've used it everywhere between dripping with sarcasm towards a troop I was training; to heaped with emotion with a patient on the ambulance. ;~D

I admit there are some things grammatical I don't know. However,
You got southern blood in you son!


"Have", not "got."

good one, Doc.

reminds me of a joke.

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had set their new wives straight on their duties.

The first man had married a woman from Alabama. He bragged that he had told his wife to do all the dishes and clean the house. He said that it took her a couple of days, but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Georgia. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. He told the men that the first day he didnt see any results, but by the next day it was better, and on the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married a Massachusetts girl. He boasted that he told her his house was to be cleaned, dishes washed, the cooking done and laundry folded. And this was all her responsibility. He said the first day he didnt see anything and the second day he didnt see anything but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down so he could see a little out of his left eye.

Yep, it does show... I get that a lot. For the record though, my butt may be in Wisconsin (and may have been seen all over the U.S. and in 3 continents), and I've found something I like about almost everywhere I've been, but my heart and home are the Rocky Mountains.

Yea, I heard that one, but it was the Ohio Woman.  Being that I went to school there, I am not going to argue with them!

Well, take your gentle manner and good manners where ever you go!
