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?"

4. Why do the Arkansas Razorbacks eat cereal straight from the box? They choke when they get near a bowl.

5. How do you know you’re from Arkansas? Your mom has been in a fist fight at a sporting event.
