The Husband Store

Walt got this little piece of humour from his old friend Dr CZ, in Fairyland (aka Zimbabwe).

At long last, God answered the sisters' call. The Husband Store -- a store that sells husbands -- is open for business. There women can go in and freely choose their dream husbands. At the entrance is a description of how the store operates. One of the rules is that one can visit the store only once. There are six floors and the positive attributes of the men increases as the happy shopper ascends the staircase. However, the one strict rule is: "no reverse!" A woman can choose any man from a particular floor. If she can't make her pick from one floor, she can try the floor above, but she can't return to choose a husband from the floor she has previously passed. Shoppers are only allowed to come down 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.
She passed.

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2: These men have jobs, love the Lord and love kids.
She passed.

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 good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" Still, she goes to the fifth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 5: These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor. Here the sign says:

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!
