The Husband Store
The Husband Store has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a new husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
YOU MAY VISIT THIS STORE ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
The shopper 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 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 Loves 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 the reads:
Floor 4 -- These Men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-Dead Gorgeous and
Help With Housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!!"
Still, she goes to the fifth 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 sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 -- You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on
the floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are 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 store just across
the street, where men can choose a New Wife.
Floor 1 -- has wives that love sex.
Floor 2 -- has wives that love sex and save money.
Floor 3 through 6 -- have never been visited.
