Stupid Laws in the State of Arkansas It is only fitting that after a week of political attacks on the wife of a candidate and one political figure igniting controversy with his words that we come upon Arkansas for our next stupid law state. The home of the Clinton’s who are very familiar with political attacks and igniting political controversy. We digress and unlike some that proclaim to be Reverends, we will take the high road here.

So let’s see what the state that gave us Johnny Cash, Wal-Mart, the World Championship Duck Calling Contest and who claims the mockingbird as their official state bird has to offer up as stupid state laws.

Stupid Arkansas State Laws

Dictionary.com says you can pronounce it two ways ahr-kuh n-saw or ar-kan-zuh s but you better ask because it is illegal to mispronounce Arkansas while in Arkansas.

It is not widely known but politicians in Arkansas wield great power and to prove it they passed this water controlling law - the Arkansas River can rise no higher than to the Main Street bridge in Little Rock.

Not only can the river break the law but also dogs because dogs may not bark after 6 PM.

Have you ever had someone flirt with your boyfriend or girlfriend and just wanted it to stop. In Little Rock you can get them back gooood - Flirtation between men and women on the streets of Little Rock may result in a 30-day jail term. Can you imagine filling out a job application and having to tell them you have been jailed for flirting!

Getting their Big Mac and McDonalds has become an issue in Little Rock causing this law - No one may “suddenly start or stop” their car at a McDonald’s.

In Arkansas they truly have problems with which end is up which might explain why Bill Clinton believes “he didn’t have sex with that woman”. See, in Arkansas oral sex is considered to be sodomy.
