women. . .can't live with 'em,
can't trade 'em in.

A woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
One such store has just opened in New York City.

Among the instructions at the store entrance is a description of how the store operates.


You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors.
The attributes of the men increase
as you ascend the flights.
There is, however, a catch. . .
you may not compare men on different floors.
You may choose to go up a floor,
but you may not go back down
except to leave the building!

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:


First Floor
These men have jobs
and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:

Second Floor
These men have jobs,
love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:

Third Floor
These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids,
and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but is compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor reads the sign:

Fourth Floor
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 on:

Fifth Floor
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 continues to the sixth floor and reads the sign:

Sixth Floor
You are visitor 44,363,012 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 leave,
and have a nice day!
