> About 45 minutes with a frummie single woman, and I'm ready to run away!


	Dear Abie-

	One night I had a dream. I found this  hole  in  the  ground  and
	before  I knew it I fell into this subterranean rose garden. They
	were holding a singles meeting. I thought I'd give it a try. This
	rose came up to me and we started talking. Before long he started
	calling me names. Said I wasn't a rose at all. Asked if I  was  a
	JAP. When I said "No!", he screamed a bit and flew away.

	Then all the roses turned  around.  They  started  calling  me  a
	"frummie-weed"  and  spraying me with all manner of weed spray. I
	tried to tell them who I really was but the  the  spraying  sound
	totally drowned me out.

	I went to my analyst the very next day to see what he would  say.
	He  said  "It  was  a frummie dream. Time's up. $45 please. (Half
	price)."

	Time has passed but I keep having  this  same  dream.  Even  when
	awake,  I  have  this nagging feeling that I'm being stereotyped.
	I'd like to meet someone who  will  make  a   sincere  effort  to
	really  get  to  know  me.  Instead,  I keep meeting supercilious
	"roses" who are looking for "action".  When  they  see  that  I'm
	frum, they label me as "self-righteous".

	Do you know any good bars?
