The Husband Store
A store that sells new 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
quality of the men increases as the shopper goes up from floor to
floor. There is, however, a catch: You may choose any man from a
particular floor, or you 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.
The woman thinks, "That's not bad but let's see what's on the next
floor."
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
The woman thinks, "That's better but let's see what's on the next floor."
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 the housework.
"Oh, my!" she exclaims, "This is too good to be true."
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead beautiful,
help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is very tempted to stay on this floor and choose a husband, but
after a minute's thought she goes up to the sixth floor. There the sign
reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men
on this floor. This floor exists only as proof that women are
impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
The Wife Store
A Wife Store opened across the street from the Husband Store.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.
