Reality Check

State Laws: Arkansas

Well, there isn’t much to say about Arkansas. Actually there is never much to say about Arkansas. Come to think of it, does anyone know where Arkansas is? Well either way, here are a few of the state laws in Arkansas… wherever that is.  

It is unlawful to walk one’s cow down Main Street after 1:00 PM on Sunday.
(Once again, no laws against rhinoceros. I need to go get one of those)

The Arkansas River can rise no higher than to the Main Street bridge in Little Rock.
(If only the President had made a law like that, New Orleans would still be just fine. No wonder everyone says it’s his fault. I always thought they were just blaming him for using his executive power of summoning hurricanes)

Alligators may not be kept in bathtubs.
(They make good back-scrubbers though)

Honking one’s car horn at a sandwich shop after 9 PM is against the law.
(“Honk for service” is kind of a fad of the past now)

Flirtation between men and women on the streets of Little Rock may result in a 30-day jail term.
(Arkansas: Catholic School capitol of the world)

No one may “suddenly start or stop” their car at a McDonald’s.
(This must have been before the advent of the Drive Thru)

Dogs may not bark after 6 PM.
(Maybe that’s why the pound is so full these days)
