The Husband
Store
A store that sells new husbands
has opened in Manchester , just off Deansgate 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
with the same rules.
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.
