Difference between me and about 63% of the American population:
Upon seeing a two-inch-long multilegged and multi-antennaed bug on the kitchen floor
- 63% of the population: Scream "AIEEEEEEEEEE!!! OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD!!" and go running from the room.
- Me: Grab nearest available paper towel, get down on floor and go face-to-face with bug, then kill it vehemently and say, "That'll teach you to tread on
my floor, bitch." Throw bug-stained paper towel in kitchen trash and then proceed to open fridge and ponder what's for dinner.
And while I'm on the topic of dichotomies, will someone
please explain to me what the hell all these non-Jews are doing on
JDate? The site is clearly marked "the largest
Jewish singles network." It's not that we don't like the Gentiles... it's that there's some of us who'd like to keep it within the faith, and we have a hard enough time out there trying to seek each other out, so this site is for us. And for the last time, it's not because we're exclusive or because we're racist or anything like that. It's because we take pride in our faith and we'd like to perpetuate it, especially since it's part of who we are, and it's a lot easier to build a relationship when there's a number of building blocks already in place in the foundation (like religion).
