Rules of Arkansas

Most def found this on a bulletin on MySpace... Hey it was accurate and funny so here it is.

Oh and Being a southern boy means I hold a lot if not all of these close to heart...

I have to admit... I complain about Arkansas but I can't say that I would prefer to be born anywhere else. All that has happened here and in my life has helped me become who I am today... Sarcastic with a twisted view on life. lol. I am glad for what I've had and what I have.

I am proud to call myself an Arkansan!


**Rules of Arkansas**

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a
pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to
get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

3. They are cattle & fishing lakes. That's what they smell like to you.
They smell like money to us. Get over it.

4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 combines
that are driven only 3 times a year.

5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly..
Try to understand the concept.

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of ducks are coming in, we
WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear
at the time.

7. Yeah, we eat Crappi and Catfish and love it. You really want sushi &
caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a Religious
holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of
age.

10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you
can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the pound of ham & turkey.

11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats,
vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: Onion, Pepper, and Garlic! Oh,
yeah... We don't care what you folks in New York call that stuff you eat...

12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served
over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to
shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

13. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers
and the Knicks, and a lot more fun to watch.

14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards --it
spooks the fish.

15 Colleges? Try University of Arkansas, UALR, UAMS, ASU, or College of
the Ozarks. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and
country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.

16. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, than
any other state, so "Don't mess with Arkansas ," If you do, you will get whipped
by the best.

17. Always remember what a great mind once said:" The United States
wouldn't be what it is today if it had not been for Arkansas!" Arkansas is the
greatest state ever!!

18. Fishin', Huntin', and Muddin', has always been a traditon in Arkansas...so has the dropping of the letter "g" on the end of the suffix "ing"

19. Mosquitos are NOT fun. Kill them for cash reward.

20. Most of the worlds crazy inventions that blow things up came from Arkansas' State-of-the-Art testing facility. A.K.A. My cousin, or my uncle, or my granpa, or my second cousin, or his brother's son, or my grandma. or my brother, or my sister's little doll, or the dog, or a can of coffee, But under No circumstance do we here in the great state of Arkansas sacrifice BEER!
