Michigan deputies nabbed four underage suspected drunken drivers after they were spotted throwing beer cans from their horse and buggy.

The Gladwin County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that it received a complaint from a motorist around 4 p.m. Sunday that four men were driving through Beaverton Township and they seemed to be intoxicated.

The four men were tossing beer cans from the horse and buggy, the driver said.

Geneticists use Amish communities to study certain inherited disorders, such as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), that are over represented in those communities because they have less genetic variation. It’s the “founder effect”.

Marriage between second cousins is allowed in some Amish sects. I’m not disparaging them, it’s simply a result of having begun from a small population then staying relatively isolated genetically.

Because I’d never seen a photograph of any Amish person before, I was reminded of what I’ve read about their less varied genetics when I saw such pronounced features in all of them. The chin reminded me of the Hapsburg jaw.

“Fools don’t notice how much more masculine looking these Amish young men are than the average white young man today”

In no decade past would these boys be considered handsome.

My wife is a horse veterinarian with lots of Amish clients. She considers very darn few good looking and most have teeth that would make the English enviable.

The Amish women all look alike.

As others have mentioned they need new genetic stock.

They seem a little old for Rumspringa. Doesn’t that start around age 16?

I’m not Amish, so what do I know . . .

I think the Amish gene pool around there is a little shallow. There's some "Hapsburg jaw" action going on there...

Sorry, but mandibular prognathism caused by inbreeding is a real thing. Those jaws are not caused by hard work; you can’t buff up your skeleton.

Mugshots seem to indicate that they really need to add some new DNA into their community. I think it’s been too isolated for a few generations.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing!

Our local Old Order folks travel extensively among the Amish communities to find spouses.

There are now a lot of them, spread out between the US, Canada and Mexico, as well as a couple of other Central American countries.

One Amish woman told me, “I don’t need Social Security, I have over 50 cousins.” That was 20 years ago.

They should have given the kids’ barber a sobriety test.

Sort of like an Amish version of the 1960’s “Beatles”

Looking at their shoulders and necks, I don’t think they’ve been spending their time playing video games..........I think they’re used to hard work.

They may have the same tailor, the same barber, the same hay-bale-throwing shoulders;

Some years back wife and I attended a "Rough 'n Tumble Steam Engineers Reunion" in Kinzers, PA, in Amish country.

They had some of the old steam engines working - one of 'em with a long belt power take-off to drive a threshing machine. On top of a mountain of hay was an old Amishman, about 70 or so, with forearms as thick as my thigh. He was chewing on a piece of straw and nonchalantly flipping a LARGE bundle of hay into the thresher every few seconds. He did it so effortlessly, you'd believe he could do that all day, no sweat.

I wondered how many of us "English" would be that healthy in our later years.

Nothing wrong with hard work. “The world needs ditch diggers.”
