The Husband Store

[Southron]

Once upon a time, there was a “Husband Shopping Center” where a woman could go to choose a husband from among many men. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor, and if you went up a floor, you couldn’t go back down except to leave the place. Once you leave, you can never return.

One day, a couple of girlfriends decide to go there to find husbands.

First floor: The door had a sign saying “These men have jobs and love kids.”

The women read the sign and say, “Well that’s better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what’s further up?”

So up they go.

Second floor: “These men have good-paying jobs, love kids, are extremely handsome.” Hmmm, say the girls. “This is better than the last, but, I wonder what’s further up?”

Third floor: “These men have high-paying jobs, are extremely handsome, love kids and help with the housework”. “WOW!” say the women.

Very tempting, ... BUT, we can do better further up!

And up they go.

Fourth Floor: “These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely handsome, help with the housework, and are very good in bed”.

“Oh mercy me! But just think what must be awaiting us further up!”

So, up to the fifth floor they go.

Fifth floor: The sign on the door said, “This floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please. Please exit the building and have a nice day.”
