Trying a Forget

Dates from Hell won't disappear
but at least they make great stories,

Ithough we'd like to forget them, memories of bad dates re-
main in the catacombs of our dating minds. Or in the fore-
frcint. Some make for hilariously funny stories. Perhaps a
few of these will dredge up some of your own hellish dates.
We've withheld names to protect the unfortunate.

• A doctor "with money to spend" took a young college student to
his friend's apartment to watch Hill Street Blues.

• One woman saw Top Gun with a guy she was "totally infatu-
ated with. He laughed out loud at too many of the wrong scenes.
The guy in front of us kept shouting things out, then turned to the
girl he was with and threw up in her lap.
"When we finally got home, my date was
ing to find the lock to get out of the car. Whet
car and he fell on top of me." Second date?
