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
you are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at Husband-Mart and have a nice day!
Wonder how many of us really know what we want and need in
life?
