The Husband Store


A little bit of humor for your Saturday!


A store that sells 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 the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors, and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch: You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a 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 and love the Lord.


The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.



The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, 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 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 to the fifth floor and the sign reads:


Floor 5 - 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 goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:


Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 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 exit the building, and have a nice day!
Which floor did you stop at?
;~P


" For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh."
Genesis 2:24

I must say that I stopped at floor 4...help with the housework, that sold me :~D

This was very funny and unfortunately so true at the same time :( We are hard to please, I wonder how we, as women, will be like if we just follow the first inklings or sixth sense to stop and accept!

Blessings dear friend,

I probably would have stopped at the first floor...but when I saw what the other women got on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th floor I would have been dissatisfied. So, I too would have been impossible to please!
