The Husband Store:
A brand new store has just opened in New York City that sells husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance, which reads:
“You may visit this store only once! There are 6 floors and the value of the products increase as you ascend the flights.
You 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 1st floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 — These men have jobs!
She was looking for someone with more to offer than that so she proceeds to the 2nd floor.
The 2nd floor sign reads: Floor 2 — These men have jobs and love kids.
Still not fully satisfied she goes to the 3rd floor. The 3rd 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 4th floor and the sign reads: 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 5th 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 6th floor and the sign reads: 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 generally impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
The Wife Store
To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opens a New Wives store just across the street from his Husband Store.
The 1st first floor has wives that love sex.
The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The 3rd through 6th floors have never been visited.
