The Husband Store

The Husband Store

A store that sells husbands 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 good
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:





Floor 5 - 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 sixthfloor 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!"
