We're always happy to get financial advice from Arkansas.

Arkansas was the only state to default on their bonds during the Great Depression. The Federal Government ran the state for two years.

I think it was a penal colony.


Martial, who ain't never done nuthin' bad enough to be sentenced to Arkansas.

Wow! I didn’t know that. My respect for my state (for 3 more days) just went up a notch.

parsy, who will be back in Arkansas in about 2 years (or hopefully less)
