Husband Store

"Husband Store"

A store that sells husbands has just opened in
a top-secret location where women may go to
choose a husband from among many men.
The store comprises 6 floors, and the men
increase in positive attributes as the shopper
ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch.
As you open the door to any floor you may choose
a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor,
you cannot go back down except to exit the building.

So a woman goes to the shopping center to find
a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door
reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The
woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well,
that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder
what's further up?" So up she goes.

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men
have jobs and love, kids. The woman remarks to
herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further
up?" And up she goes again.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men
have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking.
"Hmmm, better." she says. "But I wonder what's
upstairs?"

The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 - These men
have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking
and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims
the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be
more further up!" And again she heads up another
flight.

The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have
jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help
with the housework and have a strong romantic
streak. "Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must
be awaiting me further on?"

So up to the sixth floor she goes.
The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor
3,456,789,012 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
Husband Mart.
