THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM LIVING IN ARKANSAS

Possums sleep in the
middle of the road with their feet in the air.

There are 5,000 types of snakes on
earth and 4,998 live in Arkansas .

okra.

"Fixinto" is one word.

There is no such thing as "lunch." There is only dinner and then
there is supper.

Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you
start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our
sugar!

Backards and forwards means "I know everything
about you."

DJeet? is actually a phrase meaning "Did you
eat?"

You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't
matter what time it is. You work until you're done or it's too dark
to see.

You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH
them.

You measure distance in minutes.

You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C"
in the same day.

"Fix" is a verb. Example: "I'm fixing to
go to the store."

All the festivals across the state are
named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or
animal.

You install security lights on your house and
garage and leave both unlocked.

You know what a "DAWG" is.

You carry jumper cables in your car . . . for your
OWN car.

There are only four spices: salt, pepper,
Tabasco and ketchup.

The local papers cover national and
international news on one page,
but require 6 pages for local gossip
and sports.

The first day of deer season is a national
holiday.

100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little
warm.

We have four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, still Summer and
Christmas.

Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past time
known as "goin' Wal-martin" or off to "Wally
World."

A cool snap (below 70 degrees) is good pinto-bean
weather.

A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or
pop . . . it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. Example: "What
kinda coke you want?"

Fried catfish is the other white meat.

We don't need no stinking driver's ed . . . if our
mama says we can drive, we can drive.

If you understand these jokes please forward them to your friends
from Arkansas (and those who just wish they were).
