Crazy Laws ~~ Arkansas

Throughout history there have been laws passed and laws removed from the books. Depending on what era you grew up in, I'm sure all the laws made sense at that time. As time has progressed, some of the laws that could be deemed crazy, weird, or just plain stupid have managed to slip through the filter and remain intact. 

These are a few of the crazy laws that are still on books in these here United States of America, Arkansas. 

1.  It’s strictly prohibited to pronounce “Arkansas” incorrectly.  It should be pronounced in three (3) syllables, with final “s” silent, the “a” in each syllable with the Italian sound, and the accent on the first and last syllables. The pronunciation with the accent on the second syllable with the sound of “a” in “man” and the sounding of the terminal “s” is an innovation to be discouraged. (Ar-kan-saw)

2.  Alligators may not be kept in bathtubs.

3.  In Fayetteville, It is illegal to kill “any living creature”.
