    I don't know much about the Amish, only that they truly try to live as humble is possible.

    I recieved this from a friend:

    An Amish woman was driving her buggy to town when a highway patrol
    officer
    stopped her. "I'm not going to cite you," said the officer. "I just
    wanted
    to warn you that the reflector on the back of your buggy is broken and
    it
    could be dangerous."

    "I thank thee," replied the Amish lady. "I shall have my husband to
    repair
    it as soon as I return home."

    "Also," said the officer, "I noticed one of the reins to your horse is
    wrapped around his testicle. Some people might consider this cruelty
    to
    animals so you should have your husband check that too."

    "Again I thank thee. I shall have my husband check both when I get
    home."

    True to her word when the Amish lady got home she told her husband
    about the
    broken reflector, and he said he would put a new one on immediately.

    "Also," said the Amish woman, "The policeman said there was something
    wrong
    with the emergency brake."
