Husband store

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa
where a woman may go to choose a husband from among
many men. The store is composed of 6 floors, and the
men increase in positive attributes as the shopper
ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As
you open the door to any floor you may choose a man
from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot
go back down except to exit the building.

So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a
husband.



On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1
-

These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says
to herself, "Well, that's better than my last
boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?"

So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 -

These men have jobs and love, kids. The woman remarks
to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further
up?"

And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 -

These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good
looking. "Hmmm, better" she says "But I wonder what's
upstairs?"

The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 -

These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good
looking and help with the housework. "Wow," exclaims
the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be further
up!"

And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor
sign reads: Floor 5 -

These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good
looking, help with the housework and have a strong
romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me! But just think ...
what must be awaiting me further on?"

So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor
sign reads: Floor 6 -
You are visitor 3,456,789,012 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 Husband Mart and have a nice day.
