Buy a new husband in New York City
个人日记
A store that sells new husbands has just 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.

‘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!'
‘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.

A woman needs a husband like a goldfish needs a bicycle!
原文大意: 纽约新开了一家兜售丈夫的商店,任何需要丈夫的女人都可以到那儿按自己的需求选购丈夫.在商店的入口处有一个说明:任何求购者只允许进入商店一次.店内共六层,分别按不同标准提供不同类型的丈夫.求购者从第一层开始往上,可以选择在某一层止步,领走自己心仪的丈夫,也可以选择继续前行.但不可以回头.
这天,有一个女人前来选购丈夫.第一层门口标明商品类型:此层的丈夫都有工作.
她觉得不错,但还是选择继续往上走.
第二层门口标明商品类型:此层的丈夫都有工作,而且喜欢孩子.她心想"很好!但这好象还远远不够."于是,她毫不犹豫地继续前行.
第三层门口标明商品类型:此层的丈夫有工作,喜欢孩子,而且非常帅."哇!"这个女人开始有点舍不得走了,但她觉得这还不够完美,于是她一咬牙又接着往上走.
第四层门口标明商品类型:此层的丈夫有工作,喜欢孩子,英俊无比,还会帮做家务事."天呐!真是离完美越来越近."这样想着,女人兴奋地继续往上.
第五层门口标明商品类型:此层的丈夫有工作,喜欢孩子,英俊潇洒,喜欢帮做家务,而且浪漫之极.女人几乎已无从抗拒诱惑,但她还是不能自已把脚步迈向六层。
第六层门口标明:您是第31,456,012位来到曾层的求购者.很抱歉,此曾没有商品.设置此层只想证实一下女人是否真的很难得到满足.至此,您就只有"出口"可以走了,谢谢光临
(结论:女人寻求所谓完美丈夫就像一条金鱼寻求一辆自行车那样不现实)
后记:为了避免被指责性别歧视,这个商店的老板,在街对面同样开设了一个游戏规则相同的兜售妻子商店.
