While traveling, in a small Arkansas town I saw a wonderful nativity scene, but one feature bothered me. The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets. Unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a convenience store on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets.
She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You darn Yankees never do read the Bible!"
I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible. She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage.
Sticking it in my face, she said, "See, it says right here, 'The three wise men came from afar!'"

A Missouri Highway Patrol trooper pulled over a driver from Arkansas for speeding. Once pulled over, the trooper walked up to the driver's window and asked "Got any ID". The Arkansas driver responded "'bout what?".
You may be from Arkansas if... your grandmother doesn't bother to take the marlboro out from between her lips before she tells the cop to kiss her butt...
