may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store
operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper
ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch …. you may choose any man from
a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back
down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love dogs.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love dogs, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love dogs, love kids, and are extremely
good looking.
“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love dogs, love kids, are drop-dead good
looking and help with the housework.
“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!”
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love dogs, love kids, are drop-dead
gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign
reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women
are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!
We're just two lost souls wimming in a fish bowl.
