Amish have a sense of humor
Amish enjoy jokes like any other people–which shouldn’t come as a surprise. Spending a lot of time around family and friends, as the Amish do, provides a perfect venue for laughs.
Some Amish are quite witty. Others enjoy puns. Amish tell general jokes as well as jokes about themselves.
Amish have a healthy sense of humor. They realize the sometimes stark difference in their lifestyle, and that of the outside world. They know that we non-Amish find certain things about Amish life amusing.
At Amish America, we often hear jokes from Amish friends. Here’s an example of the Amish sense of humor.
