Quote:
New York City announces its new "The Husband 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 the store ONLY ONCE!
You may choose any man from the floor you are on, but once you do your visit ends & you must leave the building.
You may choose to leave a floor and go up one level, but once you do, that floor is forever barred to you. Your choices at that point are to go up, or exit the Building!

So, upon hearing of the grand opening, a woman promptly 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 sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is sorely tempted to stay and shop, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,241,456 to this floor. There are no men here. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
