A friend of mine told me about this new
Husband Shopping Center where a woman could go to choose from among many men for her
husband. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive
attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a
man from that floor and if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave
the place. So, a couple of girl friends go to the place to find a man as a
prospective husband.
First floor, the door had a sign saying:
"These men have jobs and love kids." The women read the sign and say, "Well
that's better than not having jobs or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further
up". So up they go.
Second floor says: "These men have
high-paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good-looking." "Hmmm," say
the girls. "But, I wonder what's further up?
Third floor: "These men have
high-paying jobs, are extremely good-looking, love kids, and help with the housework.
"Wow! say the women. "Very tempting, BUT, there's more further
up!"Â And up they go.
Fourth floor: "These men have
high-paying 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 us further on!" So up to the fifth floor they go. Â
The sign on that door said: "This
floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please."Â
