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 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 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 second floor sign reads:
>
>
>
> Floor 2 -- These Men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
>
>
>
> 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 Gorgeous and
Help With Housework.
>
>
>
> "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!!" Still, she goes
to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
>
>
>
> 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 and the sign
reads:
>
>
>
> Floor 6 -- You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on
the floor.
>
>
>
> This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
>
>
>
> Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
>
>
>
> To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a store just across
the street, where men can choose a New Wife.
>
>
>
> 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.
