note: Tara stopped on the 5th floor A HusbandMart opened where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is composed of six floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building. So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking. "Hmmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?" The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me! But just think ... what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 123,456,789,012,345 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 HusbandMart and have a nice day.
That's funny. You know, it's a lot like real life... do you take this guy (whoever you're dating, you know - imperfect but you could learn to get along), or do you see what's behind Door #2? Especially if the first guy threatens to never, ever let you back into his life if you do that? So you either settle for the safe and secure thing, or you take your chances - which might be a good thing, or on the other hand, might leave you with nothing. Also, the whole world seems like a husband market... better stuff out there all the time... but only after you've already picked one and can't shop any more. My husband wouldn't have even been allowed into that market, at least not right now. (in other words, does not fulfill the requirement needed to be on the first floor) This has not always been true, but it was when we first got together, and is now. Maybe I didn't even enter the Husband Market and picked up one of whatever they were selling outside...
