No, they are not hand-drawn, but it is plain to see they are hardened criminals:

While on the topic of criminality, I am glad Pasadena ticketed this guy, who took on delusions of adequacy for daring to direct traffic and clear up a traffic snarl:
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2011/09/09/citizen-ticketed-for-directing-traffic-after-police-fail-to-in-south-pasadena/
There, that will show him that the police may not go out of their way to help, but will go out of their way to punish.

Can't have people taking the law into their own hands now, next thng you know they might try to defend themselves.

The Amish have no 'staches? I was hoping for an old Prussian handlebar.

I came very close to doing just that in Plano one (very boring) day. Now I'm glad I didn't.

This line is great:

Police and the city of South Pasadena say they currently have no plans to change any procedures.
So they will continue to not direct traffic, while still sending officers out to fine people who are willing to direct traffic. Awesome.

It's a good thing I'm not an LEO in an Amish area.

Any that ever wound up in my custody, I'd just call them all "Yoder" no matter who they actually were.  =D

Looking at the mug shots, they don't seem to be exceedingly tall either.  And I guess elevator shoes would be right out of the question.

I'm guessing they don't have the same caloric intake most Americans do. Likely that's part of the reason they are not very tall.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

A young Amish couple got married and set off for a honeymoon in Lancaster in his buggy.

As they clip-clopped along the highway, he put his hand on her knee and kissed her on the cheek.

She smiled and said, "now that we are married, you can go farther."

So they went to Pittsburg.   =)

They have a high rate of dwarfism also.

Actually, i'll bet the hight (and I know the dwarfism) is related to genes rather then food.

They have a smaller gene pool and rarely take outsiders into their ranks. They can get enough distance in relationship to keep from becomeing dangorously inbreed, but they really havn't got a lot of vareation to work with.

That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't think of a diplomatic way to say it. The word "inbreeding" or "inbred" immediately connotes "incest" to a lot of people, which I think the Amish are no more guilty of than the general population.

No.

You put an average Amish dietary intake into one of us and we'll balloon like mad.

Amish men generally take in a TON of calories, but they're burned off by hard manual labor. Sort of like the crab fishermen in Deadliest Catch. It's nothing for them to chow down 5,000 calories at a meal, and then go right out and burn it off.
