I do puppet theater, and for several years my partner and I wore black skirts, shirts, hose and shoes.

We were stopped at a local fast food joint by a well meaning, slightly overlubed fellow who looked us up and down and asked "Do you people believe in God like we do?"

Excuse me? we say "Ain't you some of them there amsish folk?" he says. "No sir, we are puppeteers"

He stopped for a moment, rubbed his chin and said, "Well do you people believe in God like we do?"

I kid you not.
