Keeping it in the family

Certain enclaves within Switzerland have traditionally kept it in the family, so to speak. Historically, this was because communities were isolated, by difficult terrain for example. But even our village, which isn't hard to get to, has several headstones in its graveyard dedicated to an entombed Kistler-Kistler. Kistler is the predominant family in the village; there's a lot of them.

I've heard that close familial relationships are quite commonplace in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, with its villages of kissing cousins. I call it Appenzell Innenbred. Whenever I see a car with an AI registration plate heading east, I think He's driving home to sis.

All of which came to mind when I read this joking comment from an Alabaman on YouTube:

In other news: Guys my sisters pregnant, im gonna be a dad!
