The Husband Store
A store that sells new 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 this store ONLY ONCE! There are six
floors and the value of the product increases as the
shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose
any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go
up to the next 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.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are
Extremely Good Looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are
Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With 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 Kids, are
Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a
Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes on to the
sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 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.
-----------
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner also
opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love whoopie.
The second floor has wives that love whoopie and have
money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.
