Husband-Mart

A store called Husband-Mart, which sells husbands, had just opened where a woman can go to choose a husband from among many men.

Comprising 6 floors, the men were placed such that they increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends each floor. There was, however, a catch.


As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down, except to exit the building.

So this woman goes to Husband-Mart to look for a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:


Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes.

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking. "Hmmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"

The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up another flight.

The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?"

So up to the sixth floor she goes.
The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 - You are Visitor No. 3,456,789,012 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 Husband-Mart and have a nice day.

I think I'll stop when I reached the 3rd floor if there's a Wife-Mart. Life is not and never will be perfect so learn how to appreciate imperfection.
