A store that sells new husbands has justopened in New York City,where
a woman may go to choose a husband. Amongthe instructions at the
entrance is a description of how the storeoperates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! Thereare six floors and the value
of the products increase as the shopperascends the flights. The shopper
may choose any item from a particularfloor, or may choose to go up to
the next floor, but you cannot go back downexcept to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store tofind 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 secondfloor, where the sign
reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and LoveKids.
"That's nice", she thinks,"but I want more."
So she continues upward. The third floorsign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids,and are Extremely Good
Looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feelscompelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the signreads:

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims,"I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and thesign reads:
