A "Husband Shopping Centre" was opened where women could go to choose a husband from a wide selection of eligible men. It was laid out over five floors, with the men having increasingly positive attributes as one ascended up the floors. The only rule was, once you opened a 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 shopping centre.

So, a couple of girlfriends went to the Centre to find husbands. First floor, the door had a sign reading: "These men have jobs and love kids."

The women read the sign and said: "Well that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" So up they went.

Second floor: "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking."

"Hmmm", said the girls, "But, I wonder what's further up?"

Third floor: "These men are top executives, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework."

"Wow!" said the women. "Very tempting, BUT, there's more further up!" And so,up they went again.

Fourth floor: "These men are independently wealthy, 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 went. The sign on that door read: "This floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping and have a nice day!!"
