A store that sells 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 the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch. ... You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a 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 and love the Lord.
*********
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
*********
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, 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 the Lord, 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 the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the 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 4,363,012 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 at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building
because there is no way out except to Jump from the 6th floor....
True, most woman can settle with what they have but out of curiosity, some might venture out to find more. The “What If…?” Well, we all know what curiosity did to Whiskers - (RIP).
I took this test in my head while reading it. As a simple minded person, I stopped at 2nd floor. For me, having a man who has stable income, moral values and shares a kid with me is good enough. What else do I ask for? Proceeding to read 3rd floor, well… cased closed. I don’t want an extremely good looking husband. Being in competition with other women is not my forte. Looks can always be altered, advantage of being in the fashion industry. I can leave the Husband Shop gracefully holding on to my husband’s hand forever.
Floor 3 are above are hard to believe and happens only in extreme cases or movies. Men, we’re not really that hard to please…you just need to let down your ego and be more sensitive to your surroundings.
