Subject: The Husband Shopping Center

Recently a " Husband Shopping Center " opened in

Seattle, where women could go to choose a husband from

among many men. It was laid out in five floors, with

the men increasing in positive attributes as you

ascended up the floors. The only rule was, once you

opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man

from that floor, and if you went up a floor, you

couldn't go back down except to leave the place never

to return.

A couple of girlfriends go to the place to find men.

First floor, the door had a sign saying " These men

have jobs and love kids. " The women read the sign and

say, " Well, that's better than not having jobs, or not

loving kids, but I wonder what's further up? " So up

they go.

Second floor says " These men have high paying jobs,

love kids, and are extremely good looking. " Hmmm, say

the girls. But, I wonder what's further up?

Third floor: " These men have high paying jobs, are

extremely good looking, love kids and help with the

housework. " Wow! say the women. Very tempting, BUT,

there's more further up! And up they go.

Fourth floor: " These men have high paying jobs, love

kids, are extremely good looking, help with the

housework, and have a strong romantic streak. "

Oh, mercy me. But just think! What must be awaiting us

further on!

So up to the fifth floor they go. The sign on that

door said, " This floor is empty and exists only to

prove that women are impossible to please. Goodbye. "
