FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS DRINK AND BUGGY!

What a way to end the week, and find this story! I cannot stop laughing about it, and I hope that it sets the tone for the rest of the weekend! So, it turns out, cops in Western New York arrested four young Amish boys on Sunday and charged them with underage possession of alcohol after they allegedly drank booze and crashed their horse and buggy into a deputy police car. Are you laughing yet? Just picture, a horse and buggy swerving in and out of the car lanes, and crashing into a cop car! Too funny!

Police said that the car had arrived on the scene to respond to complaints of Amish people drinking in their buggies. The unidentified men were riding down the rural road in Sherman, NY, which is about 80 miles southwest of Buffalo, at around 7:15 when the buggy hit the Chautauqua County Sheriff's patrol car and flipped on its side, leaving all four young men with minor injuries! There are conflicting reports, however, stating that the patrol car hit the buggy when the riders tried to change lanes. Wait! Isn't that the same thing?

 There were several other buggies said to be in the caravan, but fled the scene in hopes of not getting caught. This is the second of two buggying and driving incidents in the same general area of New York in the past 8 months. Back in July, 17-year-old Lewis Hostetler allegedly led a patrol car on a low-speed chase after a cop saw him drinking beer in his buggy. Hostetler was arrested after the short chase. Am I the only one who finds this hilarious? "Low-speed" chase? Really?

Hey, you can't really blame these Amish kids for trying to drinking under the age limit. We've all done it and they're just kids being kids! My rambling today isn't about the underage drinking because 'been there, done that!' My rambling today is about the comedic value of driving a horse and buggy while under the influence! That is just too funny! What's next? They found out that the Amish are growing their own marijuana? Now, that would rock! And by the way, what would they call it when a buggy driver is caught drinking? BWI?
