Bay Area Quandary Dear B.A.Q.: With so much sexual promiscuity these days, one can't blame a woman or a man for asking a prospective J.L with this man and put the orange blossoms on hold until you are much more certain about his sexual preference. Dear Ann Landers: I greatly enjoyed the column about the housewife who did her housework in the nude. Perhaps you will get a laugh out of this story, which may or mav not be true. A woman picked a very warm day to begin her spring housecleaning. After an hour or two she thought, "This heat is unbearable.

I can't stand these clothes another minute." She promptly took every stitch off and happily continued with her housework. Then the doorbell rang. "Wouldn't you know it," she said to herself, and tiptoed to the window. She peered through the curtains and saw a man standing at the front door. The woman called out, "Who is it?" "Blind man," was the reply.

"Are you sure?" she shouted back. "Of course I'm sure," was the answer. "Since he's blind," she thought, "it won't make any difference." She ran down the stairs with a dollar bill in her hand, flung open the door and handed it to him. The man looked surprised, took the dollar bill and asked, "OK, Lady, where do you want me to hang these blinds?" P.T., Paducah, KY. Dear P.T.: It's a funny story, whether it's true or not.

If you sat where I'm sitting, you would never question the plausibility of any situation. Nothing is so outrageous or bizarre that somebody, somewhere, won't do it.
