This is a true story I heard in my local quaker meeting.

An elderly woman was walking down the street in Philadelphia, when a man pulled a knife on her and demanded her purse.

She turned to him very cross, and yelled "Shame on thee!" to which his hand shook a little, causing him to drop the knife. He took off running.

I wonder.

If she had been Hutterite or Amish,
would she have said: 'Shame on ye'?huh
