THE HUSBAND STORE
A store that sells husbands has opened. A woman may go there to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors. The men on each floor have different behaviors. The behavior patterns of the men on a given floor are different for each shopper. There is, however, a catch. As a woman opens the door to any floor she may choose a man from only that floor. If she declines, she can never go back. 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 more further up!"
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."
