The Husband Store

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except 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

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, 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 Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 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.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

:D

Yea, but think of what a fun world it would be if everyone thought as *I* do!! hehehehehehehe J/K

You remind me of one of my favorite characters from the movie Dr.StrangeloveGeneral Jack D.Ripper.

I must confess ignorance in that movie. I saw it once in High School (that was back when I had to walk to school 4 miles in the blinding snow uphill... Both ways... (or so I tell my children and grandchildren) :D) but it didn't much stick with me..

I might have to re-acquire the movie and watch it again..

I was wondering when and if a Tea Party reaction would happen.

This looks like the start of it ...

Which gives credence to the age old saying..

"Never stop an adversary when they are kicking their own collective ass"

The tax bill isn't even scheduled for a vote until Monday, meaning Sanders' extended floor speech -- currently six hours long and counting -- is not actually a filibuster.

I always thought that THAT is exactly what a filibuster is? You don't yield your time, you talk and talk, you even can read from the phone book..

Granted, my knowledge comes from SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK, but still.... :D

Scenario Four: Democrats dither among themselves, because they simply cannot rally around one single idea. Competing plans are batted about for weeks, and then the clock runs out. End result: see Scenarios One and Two.

Scenario #4 is so common placed amongst the Democratic Party, it can almost be considered The Democratic Party Mantra...

The denunciations and predictions of doom have been unceasing since Obama made his announcement.

I believe the term you are looking for is..

"Fuck the President.."

At least that was the term for one Dem CongressCritter...

It's a rare situation where one person can be both the most impressive and the most disappointing in the same time period, but Barack Obama has indeed achieved this dubious distinction this week.

Not only being the most impressive AND the most disappointing, but doing so with the exact same action.

That HAS to be a first...

There's a saying in Washington, that when either political party has a big fight among itself, the best thing for the other party to do is to stand back and hold their coats, and enjoy the spectacle. Which is exactly what the Republicans have been doing all week long.

Deja vu..... All over again.. :D
