I’ve got 2 copies of the 2012 Amish Woodworkers of America guide for the 2 best captions. This latest edition of the guide includes a short piece I wrote on Amish furniture businesses.

      The real trick is getting the horse harnessed up to the boat and into the lake once you get there.

      Timely topical captions

      I vote for the two captions which feature Hurricane Sandy. Very topical today.

      “Except for the color of the boat this fishing trip fits with all the rules of the Ordnug, we even grew our own worms so we won’t have to buy them from an English bait shop.”

      “After a fishing trip with his brother Amos, Jacob was struck by lightening while portaging his canoe, with his head fused to the canoe, and became America’s most unassuming superhero, Mr. Amish Canoe-Head!”

      “Recycling in the Amish community, the family saw a rickety old boat and thought it was perfect for a new trough.”

      [I should explain, Mr. Canoe-Head was a sketch in a comedy television series on CBC called “The Frantics’ Four On The Floor” featuring the guy who went on to immortality as Bill Smith on the Red Green Show, Rick Green.”

      Take Me To The River

      We go down to the river and flip it over
      into the water. Makes a great Amish houseboat,
      complete with a one horsepower motor.

    36. Lance

      Are you sure this is enough boat to float the buggy after the hurricane gets here?

      The Amish version of dressing up for Trick Or Treating.

      It’s no ark, be we like to call it home.

      – “Row row row you buggy…”

      Is that Andy in back of us taking our picture? Oh No! Erik is going to put us in his contest!

      – “If I had a boat, I’d float it in the morning…I’d float it in the evening, all over this land…”

      Jacob went to vote. He had heard that if he did vote he would be up a creek with his bishop.

      At least we didn’t put our dog on the top, like some English seem to do.

      The Lord is not only my shepherd and my co-pilot, He is also the Captain of my ship.

    38. Lot of good captions here 🙂 I didn’t even think of the potential Hurricane Sandy associations when I put it in. Hope that water doesn’t get too high for folks in the path.

      “Is there a silver alert on about us?”

      “Someday I’ll have silver hair on my head, but for now the silver lining for me is that I have a silver-topped buggy.”

    40. Slightly-handled-Order-man

      You okay? [in all seriousness - "Sandy"]

      I feel compelled to ask if all the readers of Amish America are alright and not negatively impacted by “Hurricane Sandy?” I hope everyone is safe, dry and well.

    41. Linda

      “The hat size or cap-size of this buggy is Narrow, Extra Long.”

      “Out of gas.”

    42. Slightly-handled-Order-man

      “I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks
      Looked up to the Lord above and said, Hey, man, thanks
      Sometimes I feel so good I got to scream
      She said, Gordie, baby, I know exactly what you mean
      She said, she said, I swear to god she said…” [The Tragically Hip song lyrics for “New Orleans Is Sinkin’”]
