Husband Store - Choose your Husband Here !

A new and unique store was opened in a city and its owners displayed many advertising hoardings across the city and through print and electronics media familiarising the people about it and also inviting the eligible girls and women to take benefit out of that, which claimed to sell husbands to the prospective and marriageable girls or women, where they could go and choose the husband of their choice.
 
One day, a high profile lady while driving her car, read its sign-board and was quite pleased and excited to note that such a store has been opened where she can personally go for selection of some man of her choice from amongst a galaxy of them, and keep him with her for rest of her life. She shall have a choice of selecting a man of the colour she likes, height she may prefer and many other physical and psychological merits and qualities etc. she would like to have in her would-be husband. She thinks that it is really a novel and innovative idea to open such a Shopping Mall, which is surely going to benefit women in many ways. Keeping all these things in mind, she goes inside the store to choose a husband for herself. Among the instructions displayed at the entrance door is a brief description of how the husband store functions.

It says that women may visit the store but ONLY ONCE ! There are six floors and the merits and qualifications of the men are put-up there for the benefit of the shoppers and they increase as the shopper ascends the flights to the upper floors. There is, however, a catch ..... a condition ........ the client may choose any man from a particular floor, and if she does not like any husband displayed on that floor, she may like to go up for the next floor for selection of another husband having other and higher merits and credentials; but she cannot come back down to the lower floor, except to make an exit the building ! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband of her choice and closer to the likings of her heart and to meet her necessities........ She fills up the requisite form at the counter, deposits the fees and proceeds further for shopping ...........

On the first floor the sign on the door reads : Floor 1 - These men have medium jobs, medium heights and have moderate features. They also have faith in God and are hence, having lot of moral and social values.
 
The second floor sign reads : Floor 2 - These men have better jobs, most of them have fair complexion, better heights, good salaries and also love the kids.
 
The third floor sign reads : Floor 3 - These men have decent jobs, believe in the existence of God and may or may not have some of moral values the client may like to have in them, but they shall shower a lot of love and affection on their kids, and are extremely good looking.
 
"Wow," she thinks and pauses for a while, but feels tempted to keep going to the upper floor, to have still better choice for seeking husband, as after all, the choice of husband is allowed to be made only once in life.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads : Floor 4 - These men have very good jobs, love the Nature, love the kids, are really very handsome and like help their wives to share their house-hold works. They also love horse riding and enjoy water games. They also have houses of their own.
"Oh God ! Forgive me if I make a mistake now !" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" For a while, she thinks that it would be better to choose a husband from amongst many displayed on that floor, but then, on a second thought, she thinks that there may be still better choices on the next floor.

Thinking so, she goes to the fifth floor and sign board reads : Floor 5 - These men have executive jobs, earn a lot of money, love visiting far off places by travelling by sea or air and exploring other countries, their cultures and traditions, love the kids, are very gorgeous to look at, they hardly like to do any house-hold works but have a strong romantic inclinations. They also help the wife while shopping. They can also afford luxury cars and servants to work at their homes. 

She is so tempted to stay there and continues looking at a variety of husbands sitting or standing there on that floor, but then on a second thought, she thinks that when there is another floor full of better husbands is still left, what is the harm in going there and exploring. Lost in such thoughts, her steps automatically move towards the sixth and the last floor to see what kind of still better husbands are on display there. On reaching that floor, she finds the sign board, which reads as under : -
 
Floor 6 - You are visitor No. 4,63,817 - visiting woman to this floor. There are no husbands on display on this floor. Please also note that there are good chances of God granting your reasonable and genuine wishes, but certainly not satisfying your insatiable GREED ........ After all, this is earth only, and certainly not heaven !!! 
 
This floor has been created merely as proof to show that some women are really very difficult or impossible to please. Thank you for visiting the Husband Store. Watch your steps carefully as you exit from the building. Have a nice day!
 
And lastly, please note that you may be allowed to visit again our store, but after a cooling period of one year.
