This time of year,,,,,

Swimming in long dresses often ends badly for the girls

We have a bunch around here, several colonies, They pretty much stick to themselves unless they are trying to sell you things, By and large they are alright but some of their business is shady, their wine is fruit juice with some alchohol added, if they run low on produce they go to Costco or Sam's and buy from there to resell. See them in Walmart and such all the time.

Those of us that have grown up south of Minnesota will read Hutts but northerners pronounce it as Hoots. Often shortened to hoots as referring to the hutterites up north.

I never realized Missouri was deep south (according to North Dakotans) until I lived up there as I always figured there were 2 states north of me and 2 states south of me.........North Dakotans pretty much figure everyone south of them are deep south........

You betcha and ehhhh are for real and I never knew what a "hot dish" was as we called it casserole..........

I never observed a lazy Hutterite, never. For that matter I can't say I have observed lazy Amish, Mennonites, or Hutterites - work ethic should be modelled by many other Americans.

I don’t know, might be the intention and good for the colony. They’re probably pregnant by the time they get the dress dried out.

A few years ago we were pulling the distribution line off their property at their request. Knocked on the door to the main place to give them an heads up that we’d be on their land for a few hours, and a smoking hot mid 20ish girl comes to the door! I forgot what I was even doing there for a sec……lol

Was her dress still drying in the bushes?

That was a Hooterite Jake.
Lives in Hooterville,and works at Hooters.

A friend of mine lives near Great Falls and has pointed out one of their farms which was well kept, but he says when they go into town they are followed by store clerk because they are known for shop lifting according to him. He said they are banned from some retail stores.

Maybe their religion should merge with the Muslims and hands should be forfeit.

My experience was a little different. As much as they were a self contained colony, they didn’t like following laws. I remember the problems Mower County, Minnesota, had trying to get them to put in septic systems. The Hudderites liked to flush everything into an open pond. And, of course, it overflowed with big rains. If you were downstream of these ponds, well, you get the idea.
