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

There's no abstinence from alcohol in their culture, even though they do live by a strict interpretation of the Bible. Who am I to argue? We have lots of room in Pennsylvania and the Amish are good citizens who pay their taxes.
