An Amish lady was driving her horse drawn buggy to town with her young son when she was stopped by a highway patrol officer.

I Just wanted to warn you that the reflector on the back of your buggy is broken and it could be dangerous.”

“I thank thee,” said the Amish lady, “I shall have my husband repair it as soon as we return home.”

“Also,” said the officer,

“I noticed that one of the reins to your horse is tied around your horse’s testicles.

Some might consider this to be ‘cruelty to animals’ so you’d best have your husband check this, too.

” “Again I thank thee,” said the Amish lady,

“I shall have my husband check this also when I return home she told her husband about the broken reflector and her husband said that he would repair it immediately.

“Also,” said the Amish lady, “the policeman said that there was something wrong with our emergency brake.”

The officer continued, “The reflector on the back of your buggy is dangerously small. Someone could mistake your cart for a slow-moving UFO at night!”

The Amish lady chuckled and replied, “Well, officer, I suppose if someone thinks my buggy is a UFO, the horse pulling it might confuse them even more. How many UFOs have tails and eat hay?”

The officer smirked but remained professional. “That’s not the point, ma’am. I recommend upgrading to a bigger, more visible reflector.”

At this, her young son piped up, “Can we make it flash, Mama? Like the lights on those big city trucks? Then maybe our horse will think he’s in a parade!”

The Amish lady smiled warmly. “I appreciate your concern, officer. But around here, we trust the Good Lord, not reflectors, to keep us safe.”

The officer sighed and muttered under his breath, “The Good Lord doesn’t issue traffic tickets…”

As the buggy pulled away, the young boy leaned toward his mother and whispered, “Mama, do you think we’ll need reflectors in Heaven?”

She replied, “Probably not, dear. Up there, even angels know to yield to a buggy.”
