A store that sells new husbands has 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 products increase 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
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the
sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. 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 to the sixth floor, where
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.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives
store
just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like
beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
