Another Day in Arkansas
Yahoo News is reporting that “a Little Rock man whose SUV was cut off in traffic was arrested after he allegedly shot at a motorist with a crossbow following a brief chase.” It’s an interesting way to express anger, and one that you wouldn’t expect to see outside of the Southern States. In a surprising twist, the suspect was drinking beer rather than moonshine. Do all the normal people in Arkansas (and yes, there are a lot of them) get annoyed when the drunken yahoos perpetuate the negative stereotype? I know I cringe a bit when Canadians give maple syrup or fur hats as gifts.

Yes.

I wish I could perpetuate my stereotype. I'm half East Indian and Half Swiss. I've tried curry flavoured Swiss Cheese. Just doesn't taste that great. Any suggestions?
Great

...a better question might be: why a crossbow? Who carries crossbows around with them in their vehicles? Who bothers to load a crossbow just to shoot at another motorist...or, worse yet, who carries a *loaded* crossbow around in their car? That is within easy enough reach to shoot other motorists with?
To all my Canadian friends, (and even those in Vermont and New Hampshire). I would be very appreciate of pure maple syrup as a gift. Fur hats, not so much. I still have a little fur of my own, but the heat in the tropics makes the reason for hats quite different here.
