A store that sells new husbands has 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 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

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 – These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

‘That’s nice,’ she thinks, ‘but I want more.’

So she continues upward. 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 sign reads:

Floor 4 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking 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 temptedto stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 – You are visitor 31,456,012 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.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have their own money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

That is absolutely hysterical!!! I'd be one of the ones to go all the way to the top! My DH is wonderful, but being human, I'd probably want to see what else I could get. I sent this one to several friends, plus my DH!

The guys stopping at the second floor reminds me of the time I met the brother of one of my girl friends. He was being a jerk, I guess to impress me since I was in my 20's, single and available, and started telling a joke about a sure fire diet for women - one that promised that a woman could lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks if she just followed this particular diet plan. Naturally, the diet plan was difficult, dumb and had way too many steps to be able to follow - but I listened patiently anyway.

Then he came to the punch line..."and women can do every step but the last one. Do you know what that is?"

I shook my head to indicate I did not. So he said, with a look of triumph on his face, "Well, the woman has to have sex with a man seven times a night for seven nights! And no woman can do that!"

I let a moment pass and then very seriously said "You're right. But that's because it's so hard to find a man who can do that!"

He didn't say another word, just walked out. My friend and I almost busted our respective guts laughing...we were so mean!!!
