Marriage Store
A store that sells new 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 this store ONLY
ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increases as the
shopper ascends the flights. 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 store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign
reads: "These men Have Jobs". The second floor sign reads: "These men Have
Jobs and Love Kids". The third floor sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love
Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking."
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
At the fourth floor the sign reads: "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: "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
and the sign reads: "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."
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives store just
across the street. It too has six floors. The first floor has wives that
love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.
