Husband Shopping

A store that sells husbands has just opened where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is composed of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, 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 a woman goes to the shopping center to find 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 3,456,789,012 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 Husband Mart and have a nice day.

That's a good one. I think that not only women are hard to please but humans in general. In this day and age, ( Not that I'm old and wise.....) the human race is spoiled in the things that we have, and we are always looking for bigger and better things.

Perhaps, Susan, but there is a difference in our needs, as well - and a man who doesn't consider a woman's needs (or vice-versa) can often 'do harm' without 'doing it on purpose'.

I guess it's slightly the same difference as what happened to me the other day. I was in a computer shop buying something (that I knew I would get a grilling over when I got home) - when a chap, who had obviously been into the shop earlier, came back in, and said to one of the guys serving "Thanks for that tip about the supermarket being open, I bought my wife some flowers, and asked for extra cash, so I can get the lead" (whatever lead he was buying).

I turned to him and said jokingly "Buying your wife flowers, hey ? what have you done wrong then ?". The guy laughed, and pointed at the lead - and said that the flowers were to pacify his wife over the purchase of the lead.

The shop owner joined in with a "I reckon we ought to sell flowers here, we'd sell loads!!"
And I thought I was the only one to get into trouble over 'boys toys'!!.........

I am a woman and I am not insulted.

The truth of the matter is that all jokes are at the expense of someone. Most people are able to laugh at themselves. The only time someone gets offended is when they don't want to see the truth.
