An Amish Farmer walking through his field notices a man drinking from his pond with his hand.
The Amish Farmer shouts: "Trinken Sie nicht das Wasser, die Kühe und die Schweine haben hineingeschissen!"
Which means: "Don't drink the water, the cows and pigs have shit in it!"
The man shouts back: "I don't understand your gibberish. Speak English,!"
The Amish Farmer shouts back in English: "Use two hands, you'll get more!"
