The Amish

I recently made a trip down to Pennsylvania, and I saw lots of Amish people there. Amish people rule.

They have a custom whereby the Amish teenagers are allowed to leave their Amish communities for a while and try out regular American living in big cities, partying and going crazy, basically like an Amish spring break. This custom is known as Rumspringa. And I mean these kids get DOWN, no holds barred, "let's see what this debauchery is all about" style.

But amazingly, 99 percent of the Amish kids return to their communities to live in the Amish way, with no electricity, no TV, no cars, no NOTHING. And anything that happens on Rumspringa... well,
