You know you are from Arkansas when....

This is hysterical....and true! (for credit we did steal this from Christy's blog but we are confident she stole it from someone else, making it fair game!)
Here are some ways to know if you're a true Arkansan...
1. You can properly pronounce "Ouachita. "
2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.
3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
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.
5. Stores don't have "bags," they have "sacks."
6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at a wedding or a funeral.
7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
8. You measure distance in minutes.
9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.
10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.
12. Someone you know has used a football and/or hunting schedule to plan their wedding date. 13. You have known someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.
14. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and bait all in the same store. 15. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.
16. You know everything goes better with Ranch.
17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
18. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to send them to your friends.
19. You aren't shocked to know about kids being out of school for "deer days"
Finally:20. you are 100% Arkie if you have ever had this conversation: "You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "DrPepper."
