Saturday afternoon, a friend of mine was taking a nap in her crowded car at the LA Public Library on Overland — Rancho Park.<\/p>\n
A strange man (a high school AP English teacher) approached. "Are you OK?" he asked.<\/p>\n
"I’m taking a nap," she said.<\/p>\n
She scowled.<\/p>\n
He came back later. "You look like either you’re homeless, mentally ill or deranged?"<\/p>\n

She replied to the stranger: "No! I’m converting to Judaism. I went to synagogue earlier."<\/p>\n
They ended up exchanging phone numbers.<\/p>\n
