A store that sells new husbands has 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 increase 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 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, 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.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store
just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

I'm not sure I would believe that the men on floors 2-5 actually exist--they're in the realm of the Easter Bunny and Unicorns--and I'd have an even harder time believing they weren't married. :blink:

Like the old joke says: Men are like parking spaces. All the good ones are taken, and the rest are either handicapped or so far out there that you don't want them...:biggrin:

Don't worry, y'all didn't miss anything. I knew after the third floor that they were all gay.

Of course I ended up in the Bargain Basement, Red Tag, Blue Light special.

Or was that Blue Tag and Red Light Special?

And apparently a joke so nice, we ran it twice!

Your avatar looks like my dream date, but I don't like the part at the end where she breaks my neck with her greyhound-like legs. Painful!

You must be referring to the New Wives Store.

I wonder if there is a Slightly Used Wives Store, where they are over the desire to get married. :idontno:

Egg Zachary. That shine wears off quickly. Personally, I think all marriage licenses should expire every 12 months. That way, people who wanted to stay married, would have to work hard at keeping the relationship interesting and exciting. Mike Dekle, a friend of mine back in Athens, GA, wrote a song, made famous by Tracy Byrd, "Don't Love Make a Diamond Shine," and it is very true.

Chorus:
Don't love make a diamond shine It don't matter if it costed a dime
Dang thing looks like a million bucks
Sitting on the hand of a girl in love
Perfect fifteen carats is duller than dirt if the heart don't wear it
Three little words it will knock you blind
Don't love make a diamond shine

I'd say 12 months is enough time for a diamond to start fogging up.

I like that idea ...with re-up bonuses too!

The bonuses would come throughout the year, if a renewal is going to happen. Too many people forget about investing in the relationship once the hurdle of marriage is cleared. It seems that many people think they want the dream world of a perfect marriage, and they will do anything to marry, but how quickly the shine wears dull when they start to be truthful. I think this Husband Store is the perfect story.

I think it's a two way street as far as expectations and effort go.

All I know is that witnessing some of my friends' marriages/husband issues sure makes me happy I'm single! ;-)

Absolutely! The Marriage License has a signature line for both people. Without both signatures, there is no marriage.
