The Husband Store, New York

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City,
where a woman 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 God

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love God and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love God, 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 God, 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 the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love God, 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!

  8. Cute one Happy.

    (as usual I can't resist making a "serious" comment on stories that are supposed be just for fun.)

    Perhaps she does not want children or is looking for a husband that doesn't believe in a god. :^)

  9. Pandabonium, exactly! The choices offered at the store may not be the ones some ladies are looking for. Besides, they may just be "window-shopping".

    Don't worry about the "serious" comments as you put it. It's only natural that the logical side of the brain wants to participate too. I get such urges too. ;) Actually, thank you for your wisdom and please continue to feel free to share your wisdom.
