Mr Right and Mrs Right?


Went to the city library to borrow some books. Bus rides with book to read seems to be less boring and pathetic. LOL..Anyways, went there to get a Cecelia Ahern book but while sitting and reading, this particular book caught my attention. The title is interesting.


Have a read and I promise it would be good eventhough it might be slightly long.


Prologue.


a) Husband Store.


A new store has opened. A Husband Store! There's a sign at the entrance:

You may visit the Husband Store ONLY ONCE. There are six floors, and the value of the products increase on each sucessive floor. The shopper can choose any item from a particular floor, or go up to shop on the next floor, but she cannot go back down except to exit the building.


So, a woman goes into the store. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:


FLOOR 1- Men who have Good Jobs

"That's nice,"she think"s "but I want more."So she continues upward where the sign reads :


FLOOR 2- Men who have Good Jobs and Love Kids

She's intrigued, but continues to the third floor, where the sign reads:


FLOOR 3- Men who have Good Jobs, Love Kids and Are Extremely Handsome.

"Wow,"she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.


FLOOR 4- Men who have Good Jobs, Love Kids, Extremely Handsome, and Help Equally with the Housework.

"It can't get better than this!"she exclaims. But then a voice inside her asks, "Or can it?"She goes up and reads the sign.


FLOOR 5- Men who have Good Jobs, Love Kids, Are Extremely Handsome, Help Equally with the Housework, and Have a Great Sense of Humor.

Having found what she's looking for, she's tempted to stay, but something propels her to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:


FLOOR 6- You are visitor 42.215,602 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor only exists to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.


PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a Wife Store right across the street.


FLOOR 1- Wife who loves Sex

FLOOR 2- Wife who loves Sex and Are Kind

FLOOR 3- Wife who loves Sex, Are Kind, and Like Sports.


FLOOR 4,5 & 6- Have never been visited.
