<< The Amish Elevator
An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall.
They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but
especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move
apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, "What is this, Father?"
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded,
"Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life,
I don't know what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching with
amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up
to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls
opened and the lady rolled between them into a small
room. The walls closed and the boy and his father
watched the small circular numbers above the walls
light up sequentially. They continued to watch until
it reached the last number and then the numbers began
to light in the reverse order.
Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous,
voluptuous 24 year old blonde woman stepped out. The
father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said
quietly to his son ...
"Go get your mother." >>

Thanks, David! I know I could use an elevator like that!
For those of you who have seen the movie "Witness" (and for those of you who haven't, I recommend it highly), this reminds me of one of my favorite scenes in the movie. Harrison Ford's character John Book (a city cop masquerading as an Amish farmer) is confronted with having to milk a cow for the first time, and is obviously quite hesitant to do so.
"What's the matter?" the old Amish farmer he's staying with asks him. "Haven't you ever touched a teat before?"
"Not one that big", he answers.
The old man guffaws loudly.
It seems (at least from this movie's point of view) that along with their spirituality, the Amish are quite earthy as well!
We do not remember days...we remember moments.
