Shopping at the husband store ..
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 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 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!

7. I'm sooooooooo glad
you're back, auntieA!! :* :hug: :loveya:



I'm kind of under the weather, very tired and a cold is trying to set in. We also had winter come early this year - gawd, we've already had half a dozen snowfalls...and it's very grey here...the sun rarely peeks out. I've officially disowned winter already, but it hasn't reciprocated yet. x(

9. Damn slim pickings above the second floor and the PRICES.....
I've been merchandise in the basement for several years it's damn crowded with stock the prices are cheap but not much in the way of shoppers.

I think that my best chances for getting married at this point are to turn gay. Any hints on how to manage that?

Huh? :shrug:



Well, nevermind. The fact that you're a Dem is proof that you don't belong in the basement anyway. Some lucky girl will come along, discover you and get the bargain of a lifetime.

14. LOL! That's brilliant! And so true. Though I thought floor 6 would be gay.
I was expecting that as the joke, though the "loves the Lord" made me think that probably it wasn't going to go that route.
