I love pussycats but sometimes I like to run with the tigers.<\/p>\n

The problem with tigers is that they sometimes claw you and often turn out to be quite deranged. That’s kinda cool in small contained doses — hey, live your dreams — but they can turn your life chaotic and that’s not the Torah’s way.<\/p>\n

A frum life is about order.<\/p>\n

Write that down, kids.<\/p>\n

Some women who act like tigers turn out to be pussycats and vice versa.<\/p>\n

My normal preference is for demure women who turn out to be tigers, but only tigers in the zoo, not running wild on the streets, if you get my drift.<\/p>\n

That’s why frum chicks are the coolest. The mehitza creates desire.<\/p>\n

As our sages remind us, the longer the skirt, the quicker it comes off.<\/p>\n

Many years ago, before I moved to L.A., I met this woman through a Jews for Jesus singles service. Don’t ask. I was trying everything at the time to meet chix (I had no belief in Jesus but I had a strong belief in the transformative effect of a good woman, and even that of a bad woman can be cool).<\/p>\n

This woman’s mom placed the ad. They were both shiksas.<\/p>\n

I took the daughter (nine years older than me) out to dinner. On Shabbat, I took her to shul. Motzi Shabbos, she took me home.<\/p>\n

It’s the way things should be.<\/p>\n

She was living with her mom after her third divorce. <\/p>\n

In the morning the mom says to me, "She’s a tiger, isn’t she?"<\/p>\n

I about died.<\/p>\n

I’m very demure.<\/p>\n
