and Amish humor:
The Englisha visitor suffered through a three-hour Amish wedding service, sitting on the hard backless church bench.
“Why does it take so long to tie the knot?” he asked afterward.
“Well,” the bishop said, stroking his long white beard. “So that it takes ‘em a lifetime to untie it.”
