The Husband Store

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 the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, 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 the Lord, love kids, are

drop-dead gorgeous 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:

These men have jobs, love the Lord, 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!
