The Arkansas River can rise no higher than to the Main Street bridge in Little Rock. (Does it get a ticket if it does?)<br /><br />2. Alligators may not be kept in bathtubs. (But the swimming pool is apparently okay.)<br /><br />3. In Little Rock, honking one’s car horn at a sandwich shop after 9 PM is against the law.<br /><br />4. Flirtation between men and women on the streets of Little Rock may result in a 30-day jail term. (Some of those prudes from Texas must be related to the prudes here!)<br /><br />5. Also in Little Rock, it's unlawful to walk one’s cow down Main Street after 1:00 PM on Sunday.Tori Lennoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466979613205850564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-61536492002808736202010-08-31T14:37:57.519-05:002010-08-31T14:37:57.519-05:00Michele,
