Amish Mug Shots - The Town Scryer, Humor Times

Eight Amish men were arrested and booked into the Graves Country (KY) jail for refusing to pay fines issued for failure to attach orange safety triangles to their horse-drawn buggies.

The Swartzentruber Amish sect members said they could not display the triangles as it would violate a religious decree prohibiting bright colors.

They received sentences ranging from three to 10 days and provided dark-colored jumpsuits in lieu of the jail’s traditional orange coveralls.

Proof that the format makes even the most harmless of people look like hardned dangerous criminals.

Be seeing you.

While we have you…

… we have a small favor to ask. More and more people are reading the Humor Times, but advertising revenues for internet sites everywhere keep falling. And unlike so many other websites, we have not put up a paywall -- we want to keep this much-needed political humor free, if possible!

So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Humor Times' unique content takes a lot of time and effort to produce... But we do it because we believe uncompromising political satire is more important than ever these days.

If everyone who reads and likes our website helps fund it, we can continue to help people laugh at the news, rather than cry about it! For as little as $1, you can support the Humor Times – and it only takes a minute. Thank you!
