Amish Horse

(page last updated 30/08/98).

An Amish lady is trotting down the road in her horse and buggy when she is pulled over by a cop. He says, "Ma'am, I'm not going to ticket you, but I do have to issue you a warning.

You have a broken reflector on your buggy."

"Oh, I'll let my husband, Jacob, know as soon as I get home." "That's fine," he said.

"Another thing, ma'am. I don't like the way that one rein loops across the horse's back and around one of his balls. I consider that animal abuse. That's cruelty to animals. Have your husband take care of that right away."

Later that day, she was telling her husband about her encounter with the cop, "He said the reflector is broken."

"I can fix that in two minutes," Jacob said. "Anything else wrong?"

"I'm not sure, Jacob....something about the emergency brake...."
