Here's one I've posted before:
"A lonely single woman receives a flyer for a new store in the mail. The store sells husbands. How amazing, our heroine thinks, a store where a woman can purchase a new husband! She decides she must have a husband from this new store.
So she goes to the address listed in the flyer. At the entrance is a sign with a description of how the store operates. It reads:
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 man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
The woman takes the elevator to the first floor. At the first floor, the door opens on a sign that reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
She shrugs and gets back on the elevator.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
This is pretty good, she thinks, but pushes the button for the third floor.
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 sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, 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 fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, 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 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."
