Wait a cotton pickin' minute- I can't let that pass about the Amish. Their silos are filled to the brim - yes. But in due time they will tell you with what.

The Amish make up all kinds of stories about themselves and their place in the world.

Once an Amish farmer was hauled into court to testify on someone's behalf. He was called to the front and told to raise his right hand and swear. He said, No, no. I can't swear.

The judge said severely, Mr. Yoder, you HAVE to swear. Bailiff, proceed.

The farmer said, Do I have to? Do I have to swear?

Yes, said the Judge.

The farmer heaved a big sigh and said, OK. Helly, helly, damn.

Ya can't leave for a dang minute.
