A store that sells new husbands has opened
in Melbourne , 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.
