You know you're from Arkansas if:
1. You measure distance in minutes
2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
3. You know what a razorback is.
4. You see a car running in the parking lot at the EZ-Mart with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.
5. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.
6. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables in your car... for your OWN car.
9. The local papers cover national and international news on one page but requires 6 pages for local gossip and sports.
10. The local school lets out for the first day of deer season and you think it should be a national holiday.
11. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm"
12. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas. Also known in the Delta as Wheat out, Rice and Beans In, Rice and Beans Out, Wheat In, And Christmas. And also known as Deer Season, Duck Season, Spring Turkey Season, Fishing Season.
13. You know whether another person from Arkansas is from east, west, central or southern Arkansas as soon as they open their mouth.
14. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past time known as "goin wal-martin"(older crowd) or off to "Wally World"(younger bunch)
15. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good pinto-bean weather.
16. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop...it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. Example: "What kinna coke you want?"
17. Fried Catfish is the other white meat.
18. You understand these jokes and will probably share them with your friends from Arkansas(and those who just wish they were)
