A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City. When entering this store, a woman may 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, and she looks at the signs as she goes up the floors.
On the first floor, there’s a sign on the door that reads: “Floor 1 – These men have jobs.”
The second floor sign reads: “Floor 2 – These men have jobs and love kids.”
On the third floor, the 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 here reads: “Floor 4 – These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.”
“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!”
However, she goes to the fifth floor, where the sign reads: “Floor 5 – These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.”
