J.B. Weisenfels has lived in rural Arkansas for three decades. She is a writer, a mom, and a graduate student. She is also an avid collector of tacky fish whatnots, slightly chipped teapots, and other old things. In her spare time she enjoys driving to the nearest creek to sit a while. If you were to visit her, she'd try to feed you cornbread.
Okay, okay. We hate all the how-many-teeth jokes and the jokes about how we don’t own shoes. We hate the speed dating at family reunions jokes and the married-to-our-siblings jokes. Are there any jokes about Arkansans that don’t turn our stomachs? Are there any we can laugh at? We believe so, and we’ve compiled a list of 10 of our favorites.
1. An Arkansas State Trooper pulled over a truck on I-40.
He said to the driver, "Got any ID?"
The driver said, "Bout what?"
. . . and zebra cakes . . . and canned cheese . . .
7. Bubba called 911 because his house was on fire.
The dispatcher asked “How do we get there?”
Bubba replied, “Don’t y’all still have all those big red trucks?”
9. What's the difference between a Yankee zoo and an Arkansas zoo?
On the cage in a Yankee zoo, the cage will have the name of the animal and the scientific name in Latin. An Arkansas zoo will have the name of the animal and a recipe.
10. An infinite number of Arkansans, in an infinite number of pickup trucks, firing an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs, will produce all the great works of literature. In Braille.
