Nice Jewish Soon to be Lawyers.

Once upon a time, there was a Jewish girl that looked like a shiksa. She was tall, naturally blond and had blue eyes. In high school, she rarely dated. Her father, a professor at the local university, worried that she would never learn how to have a relationship. He tried time and time again to set his daughter up on dates with his prize students. He would ask, "Is ___ years too old for you?"

Now this same young woman is studying at the very same university where her father still teaches. She has many potential boyfriends. The problem though, is that they live all over the world. She calls them her "guy friends" but means that they are "options" for the future.

One day, her father calls her. " Young Man A just graduated with a degree in construction engineering but he decided to become an environmental lawyer instead. I just wrote his letter of recommendation. You two would hit it off. He's an independent thinker, well-read and has good politics. Plus, he looks Jewish the way you look Jewish." He's excited but doesn't want his daughter to feel pressured into a date so instead he says "Here's his e-mail. You both are going to Israel this year. You should talk about it."

The daughter laughs a little. Sends the nice, young Jewish soon to be lawyer a brief e-mail and calls one of her favorite guy friends. She tells him "Guess what just happened!.... My dad tried to set me up with a nice, Jewish boy who's going to be a lawyer...again."

Her guy friend breathes a deep breath and exhales "Can't you just tell him you already have one of those?"

She can see where this is going but wants him to admit it. "And who might that be?"

"Well...me."

"And... there it is. Potential." She thinks to herself and smiles.
