OT On Marriage (From another list) Now even further

A short story in defense of maleness

Subject: Husband Mart

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may
go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6
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 3,456,789,012 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 Husband Mart and have a nice day.

Yep, males are more frail, right from the get-go. They even get all the
cool 
  "unmatched X chromosome" disorders. Us evil gals just pass 'em along.
Not 
to mention all those "testesterone driven" Darwin winners. You know, "My
axe 
is sharper", "No, mine is, see?","Ow!!", "Billy-Bob, uh, you okay? 
Billy-Bob?""
