Talking Some Rainy Day Snickers

Husband shopping

A Walmart store that sells husbands has just opened in
town 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 second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely
good looking. "Wow" so she goes to the fourth floor and
the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, loves kids, are extremely good
looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me! So she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely
good looking, help with the housework and have a strong
romantic streak.
She is so tempted she goes to the sixth floor and sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,456,012 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 Wal Mart's Husband Store -

Friendship


Friendship Between Women:
A woman didn't come home one night. The next day
she told her husband that she had slept over at a
girlfriend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best
friends. None of them knew anything about it.


Friendship Between Men:
A man didn't come home one night. The next day
he told his wife that he had slept over at a buddy's
house. The woman called her husband's 10 best
friends. Eight of them confirmed that he had slept
over, and two claimed that he was still there.

Hehe
My conclusion:
Having a job, loving kids, being goodlooking, helping with housework and being romantic is the maximum you can expect from men. Apparently, they are unable to please women

Bravo, bravo.

If the rains got you down, go south, here we only have howling winds, and temperatures that are on the average above 65 degrees farenheit. and a few scattered showers.

The second one was hilarious.

Nonsense. Women lack the communication skills to inform men what they want in a relationship is all. It's their own fault.

@ DW, Wonderful stuff to wake up to! I loved the friendship one.
The ones on BC and Saskatchewan amused me too.

1. Pointy Rock in between me and DW! Rejoice!
2. Living near Toronto, you learn to forget that Ottawa exists there as well.
3. They only make you pay double for everything else.
4. Rednecks?
5. Heh heh heh... unfortunately, we pay for the rest of the country.
6. We take no blame at all for this one.

I guess DW should be happy that it got 'pointy' in the first place.

Yes they can, sometimes the wounds can last for months andleave reminders that last for a liftime, for ever draining on you. Though pointy sticks like the one your holding dont like quite as becoming on a woman as they do a man. Has something to do with the whole 'The man wears the pants in the relationship' thing.

It goes back further, to when men used to hunt great big elephants with them sticks. Ahhh, those were the times.

And clothes weren't invented. *blinks eyes*
