In one of the weirdest stories in the religious world, members of one Amish sect have been charged with cutting the beards of other Amish men.

This matter could get hairy. Imagine whole groups of Amish attacking in horse-drawn buggies armed with pinking shears. We knew Armageddon involved horsemen, but in buggies? Perhaps it's a new form of circumcision - cutting on a different head.
Is it wrong that I kept getting distracted by the fact that the leader's name was Mullet?

Back in the 1950s the Goons (Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe) did one of their best shows on The Phantom Head-Shaver of Brighton. This is at least as ludicrous, but the Goons were funnier.

Ah the Goons.
I thank them, they taught so many to appreciate the stupid.

The Asmo approves of their deviousness :D
"Beard-cutting is a crime, is it?"
Haha, Yes! If it's not your beard and they didn't ask you to cut it, you crazy loon!
This guy is as Amish as I am.
He has used, for years, his pseudo-amish cult to try and live outside of the law. This dude is just a psycho control freak dressed in plain clothing.

You'd think the tip off would have been his taking other men's wives into his home to introduce them to god via his penis.

A damn good scam if you can pull it off.
If you can work that scam, you don't need to pull it off. ;D

I remember the Goons!
Not to get too far OT, but what about the "I'm sorry can you say that again?" radio hour?

I would have better luck saying it was the grandmother...
If you put an insect where they feel it doesn't belong, that could pass as a 'god did it', since insects don't have souls and therefore are automatons driven by the omnipresent and omnipotent god ;D
