Just got this from my mom. Turns out there is a husband store that just opened. Sound great huh? Look out, there is a catch to it! ------------------------------------------------------------ WELCOME TO THE HUSBAND STORE!! A stor that sells husbands has just open in New York City, where a woman may got o choose a husband. Amound the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch... you may choose any mand from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! Happy Shopping!!! 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. the second floor sign reads: Floor 2: These men have jobs, love the Lord, and like kids. 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 the sign reads: Floor 4: These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework. "Oh mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" Still, she goes to the firth floor and sign reads: Floor 5: these men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign read Floor 6: You are visitor 4,363.012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exist 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! ------------------------------------------------------------ This is to all the men on Mylot for a good laugh, and all the women who can handle the truth lol!

LOL!!! When I read the title of your discussion I thought 'we have to BUY one???' So true - we are never satisfied with the one we've got (well I changed mine twice lol)

LOL I got rid of 3, before finding the 'perfect' man, or should I say the perfect match for me lol, the first thing that caught me was his sense of humor. Love is seeing an imperfect person, perfectly!

I shoulda added that on here. The footnote in the e-mail said: The grass is always greener on the other side, but you know their water bill is higher too!!!

Yes, of course, you are right. The grass is greener always on the other side. We never realize the importance of our partner once he is away from me. I often used to have small fights with my husband due to small issues when was with me. Now, he lives in another country and now only I realized how good he was to me and how well he took care of me and made me feel special. I miss him a lot.

Ok. Satisfied but all women are not like that. No one searches for a all-in-one husband, but searches for a person who can really understand them. Looks, or a servant like behavior is not at all acceptable by most of the women.

I know all women are not like this. I just thought that people would get a good laugh from it.

This is so true. But with the title, I was a bit hoping of a place where we can indeed shop for a husband. Haha. :P

Hey, just for fun, let's revive this one. I would have picked the enterprising fellow out front holding up a sign that read "I have a job!" I'm too cheap to give the store a percentage, lol. Good laugh, though.

I would have stopped on floor two. My mom also sent this email to me. Must be a mom thing. I have no daughters to send this to, just sons.
