Husband store

A store that sells new husbands opens, 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 floors. 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 tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor anyway, 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. all the best urban

Wow! I womder if that is really true... as many times i tend to think that a thing, scenario, present etc. could have been done better- But then again, if and only if you really love someone - it does not matter what he really does wrong as you will only see what he does right!

Good old joke, Urban. And interesting comments from a wide range of viewpoints. I was going to ask about the equivalent for men until I saw you'd added that in too.

LOL, I thought for a moment that store was for real! I thought it was some kind of concept store that has been hatched, and wonder if that is a new concept for husband-hunting that will sprout out all over the country in no time. I guess you can't blame the women for wanting the best. After all you won't buy a husband like a commodity where you can just dispose off when what you bought isn't satisfying, and go in search of another. If there was also a Wife Store around, millions of men would have progressed to the 6th floor too, I reckon. Men would also want the best, right?

No need for anything higher, I guess. Third floor would have been good enough for most guys. I sure hope desperate people don't have to look for life partners this way, otherwise the marriage agencies and bureaus will have to close shop!!

Hehe, nice one. thanks for the laugh. I just hope that it's not really like that in real life, but i'm pretty sure it's not.

Very good! Everyone needs a good laugh now and then, so I will give you one. I paid my husband alimony when we split. Even though, he was making three times as much as I was at the time. He had been hurt on the job and sued me for rehabilitative alimony and in the state we live in if one spouse is unable to work at the time of the divorce even if they are getting diability the other has to pay alimony. I would still be paying if a friend had not taken pictures of him reroofing a house for a real estate company. I gave him a set of the photos and he decided that he did not need the alimony any more and informed the clerk of courts as much!

The law is an a$$, as someone once said. Sorry if this post was distasteful in your circumstances but I think you understand it was intended to be humorous. all the best urban

I always enjoy a good laugh dear. If I picked a golddigger it was my own fault. Just as if a guy gets ripped its his own fault. You take your chances in this life and you just have to laugh!!

It's maybe not that women are impossible to please, it's just that most want to have more than what is being offered. Women how-a-days are always after for "that someone better" and ends up having nothing at all.

LMAO!! That really is a classic!! And the sad thing is, as a woman I cannot deny what the sign says for the 6th floor!!

i think on the sixth floor, along the sign, a man with a hunter should be placed and the too greedy women should be punished for their greed. :-)

Whooaw! I may have gone to the last floor too. This is a extremely funny post but at the same time it tickles the mind that indeed we need to check on our choices because it might lead us to nowhere trying to get into a better find.

LOL. Do you think this can be the solution to all the divorces happening around? I don't think it is. People will always have problems dealing with each other.

Hi, The other part after marriage comes when the wife sends a divorce notice with a maintenance to kids and herself will that husband afford that too. The rent to the women after marriage. The women would opt marrying men as a business for a big alimony.

That was great. But you know, if you have a man who has a job and loves kids Im sold. Looks really don't matter THAT much. What matters is how you feel about the person and how they feel about you. I would say Second Floor for me :p

After reading the sign on the second floor I would have gone back down to the first floor and then out the door, because I was not interested in having kids, and just a job would not be sufficient for me. I would require fidelity, integrity, sobriety, and a brain. I would agree that I might be impossible to please except for these three things: 1) I would not have gone to the 5th floor and therefore would not have received this insult, and 2) I found a wonderful husband with all the qualities I desire but with no price tag attached, and 3) Anybody knows you can't buy love. Nice try.
