The 6th Floor
=======================
A store that sells new husbands
has just 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.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love 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 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 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 this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are
impossible to
please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
================
To avoid gender bias charges,
the store's owner opens "The 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 money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.
