A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, a store
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 she 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.
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more,' and continues upward.
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good
looking.
'Wow!' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
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.
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.
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.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a Wife Store just
across the street.
The first floor has wives who love sex.
The second floor has wives who love sex, have money, and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors have never been visited.
