Seminary Girls

Ben Chorin recently mentioned his less than riveting experiences with Seminary girls who come to visit for Shabbos.

Being a firm believer in the merits of piling on I present the following story, which affirms about 500 different stereotypes regarding Seminary/Stern girls.

During Simchas Torah of my second year learning in Israel, there was talk of a airport workers strike in JFK, and rumors floated around that the motzai yom tov plane that would be carrying many Americans back to the States would be forced to land and stop over in Europe. I was sitting with my future wife in a hotel lobby when I heard the following conversation between two seminary girls:

Seminary Girl 1: Did you know that we might need to stop in Europe?
Seminary Girl 2: Yeah, that really stinks.
SG 1: Well, maybe we can go shopping.
SG 2: Yeah, but with our luck we will probably land in a bad European country like... Saudi Arabia.
SG 1: Yeah, I know.

(This story is true. I could not have made this up if I tried.)

True story....a friend of mine was on a shidduch date with one of these cookie-cutter seminary girls...they were in the middle of dinner and it was pretty quiet and the girl out of nowhere says, "I am SOOO into the bais hamikdash." He had absolutely no idea how to respond. You can't make that up.

"He had absolutely no idea how to respond."

Proper response: Like, no way! Me too! Totally for sure.

That is just painful to read.

Well, using what I do know about search engines and partnership professionals who employ underhand techniques, the
initial one is white hat partnership. The reason for the
changes was to adapt to new information on how to create an partnership-friendly website that will
make the customer pay more than he should. Keyword optimization and placement
In order to achieve this, Google identifies valuable websites and tries to serve them up highly
in search engines in a very user friendly format. It must
be a highly experienced and provide quality service.
