A Texan is on his first visit up north, and he is absolutely fascinated by the sights and sounds of the big city. He sees a suspension bridge in the distance, and never having seen one in his life, he decides to go in for a closer look. Upon reaching the bridge, he is horrified to see a man holding on to the rail and mere inches from falling to a watery death.
Thinking quickly, the Texan says: "Hey partner - whatever you do, don't let go of that rail". The man slowly turns his face to the Texan and says: "Life isn't worth living. No one loves me, no one cares about me, no one will ever remember me." The Texan says: "Whoa, buddy - remember your wife?". "She left me", said the man. "Well, remember your kids?" said the Texan. "They left me to go with my wife", was the response. "Well, remember your best friend?", said the Texan. "He run off with my wife", said the man. By this time the Texan was running out of ideas, when suddenly, he had an inspiration..."Well, Remember the Alamo!", the Texan said proudly. "The what?" said the man. "Jump and die you no good yankee!"
