The Husband Store

A store that sells 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 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 group of several single women go 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. They wonder around and are impressed with the selection, but then they see the sign to the second floor.

The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids. Wow, they think. This is only getting better. And there are six floors! Again they are impressed. Then they see the sign to the third floor.

The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking. They rush up the stairs and view the selection of men.

"Awesome!!" is the general response from the group of women. But,
nonetheless, they feel compelled to keep going. After all, there are still
three floors to go.

They get to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework and enjoy shopping with their wives. "Oh mercy me!" they each exclaim. They can hardly contain their excitement! Just about everything a woman could want in a man and still two floors to go!!!! They run past each of the men waiting to be purchased, knocking some over, to get to the exit to the fifth floor.

And on 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, enjoy shopping with their wives, and have a strong romantic streak. A collective sigh is heard from the women. Everything a woman could want. What could possibly be waiting for them on the top
floor?!?!!!

They are tempted to stay, but as one the rush to the sixth floor to see what could be better than men who love The Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with housework, enjoy shopping, and are strong romanticist. They pass and totally ignore scores of such men waiting to be bought and make their lives complete. They rush up the stairs to the sixth floor. As they burst onto the landing of the sixth floor they enter a small lobby with no other doorways. The door closes behind them and locks. There is only a sign and an exit to an outdoor stairwell. The sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitors 4,363,012 to 4,363,024 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! Also, remember - you may not visit again.

Ain't that the truth.

-HECK!

I think everything after the 3rd floor is empty b/c those guys don't exist.

THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT! WHAT?
