I obtained klaf by conspiracy with a consenting adult male! I went to Borough Park today for klaf for Kehillat Hadar's Megillah - went into the shop and said to the satin-clad young man who approached me, "I've come to get klaf for a megillah" - and he looked at me as though I'd made him an indecent proposal. I'd come in my Frum Disguise - every girl should have a tichel in her wardrobe for just such occasions as these - hair modestly tied away as befits married women and affecting a timid manner I told him my husband had phoned yesterday, and he said "Ahhh! Friedman" and started running around fetching it and saying unintelligible things in Yiddish, ginger peyos bouncing. He even threw in some tendons for free.

(N.B. klaf = ritually prepared parchment, tichel = headscarf, peyos = curly locks over ears, frum = excessively pious)
