True Arkansas
by GinafishThis is a joke I got today. Just to let you know how sad it is, I’m going to post why it’s true. My answers are underneath the numbers. Which ones do you hold true?
Here are some ways to know if you’re a true Arkansan…
1. You can properly pronounce Ouachita.
Wha-shi-taw (The shi is pronounced like shi*, the taw like tall.)
2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.
Sure do, cept maybe those in Arizona, and New Mexico. I guess the desert is hot.
3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
Alas, for too many relatives this is true. Me? I hid out.
4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.
Oh yeah baby, nothing worse than a hot sticky car seat.
5. Stores don’t have bags, they have sacks.
Plastic sacks. Bags are paper, and you have to ask for those.
6. You’ve seen people wear bib overalls at funerals.
Did anyone see this at Aunt June’s? I did. :S
7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
Pretty much, yup.
8. You measure distance in minutes.
What? That’s not a way to measure how far something is? But I do it everyday!
9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.
Well, no. I’ve been to the ocean. You go to the lake if you want to fish.
10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
Guilty.
11. You know cow pies are not made of beef.
Made by beef. HA!
12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.
This one, I don’t think so.
13. You have known someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.
True.
14. You aren’t surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and bait all in the same store.
Don’t forget the gas pumps, and sandwich shop.
15. A Mercedes Benz isn’t a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.
Is that what all those white trucks are?
16. You know everything goes better with ‘Ranch’.
Salad, fries, hotwings, jalepeno poppers, that about covers it.
17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
I’ve never learned how to shoot.
18. You actually get these jokes and are “fixin’ ” to send them to your friends.
Yes, I sent this to some friends.
Finally:
19. you are 100% Arkie if you have ever had this conversation: “You wanna coke?” “Yeah.” “What kind?” “Dr Pepper.”
So I’m 100% arkie. Ugh. [b][/b]
