Uh an ex bf of mine sent this to me this morning, not sure if he was being sarcastic or he was just sending out a funny email..I haven't gotten an email from him in almost a year..Btw I find this funny and Men are the same way..
A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.
You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch . . .. you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a h Husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the housework. "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 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 at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!
Please send this to all men for a good laugh and to all the women who can handle the truth!

"love the Lord" means preaching good family values in between affairs, or going into public men's room to find anonymous sex partners of the same sex, or when not having his wife sign divorce papers while she's doped up in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery (can anyone guess the 3 Lord-loving "family values" politicians I'm specifically thinking of?  )IP: Logged |

If I had to go through those floors myself, anything labeled "love the Lord" would make me run the other way.
But then again, I'm not from around here.It's astounding how "love the Lord" is so easily equated with good and moral.
As I said, no offense intended. Just an observation. IP: Logged |

Actually, anyone who is real quick to express religious devotion of any kind (as opposed to it being in the person's background and easily overlooked), especially when involved in business, makes me suspicious that they're trying to manipulate me or gain my trust falsely. Too many criminals & con-artists do the same, after all.Also, I think of characters like in White Oleander (the Jesus-loving foster mom who shoots a foster daughter for sleeping with the guy she herself was living in sin with). Plenty of good people out there who are devoted to one (or more) deity or spiritual path, but I surely don't assume that such people are sincere, or even if they are, that such people are trustworthy--ESPECIALLY if one of the first things they make sure you know is how much they love the lord. And if someone was constantly worried about the state of my soul in that I'd burn in Hell for eternity unless I accepted such beliefs myself, I really don't see how any such relationship could be possible anyway. I'd literally find it easier to make a life & start a family with a member of the Church of Satan, and I'm completely serious on that. ('Course if such a person made sure that the first thing I knew was that s/he was a satanist, I'd believe the person had other problems, though at least not trying to win my trust to screw me over or otherwise hide character flaws ) IP: Logged |

Floor 2 is fine by me, what use is good looks in a man? I don't want to sit looking at him, I want him to say something intelligent, and then go and cook my dinner.

The lady in White Oleander is also fairly represented. Not only was the character based on a real person, but I met enough like her in Texas. And whose the real Christian? Each one will give you a different answer on who the posers are. The POINT is that when people say "love the lord," especially when they make sure it's the FIRST thing you know about them, isn't a good selling point with me. And you don't need "the Lord" to be good & kind, and from my observation, it doesn't even help. The REASON I shared was to commiserate with someone else who posted and seemed to feel she was "being weird." (Also, started off being a little silly, though I really was thinking of 3 politicians.)

It's interesting because the version of the joke I received said nothing about the Lord. And why the hell are we talking about White Oleander?! EDIT: Oh, I see.

What about if your man of choice fits NONE of the descriptions in the joke, but they are right for you and you love them? Means - you don't have to go to a *husband* store MWHAHAHAHAHAHA  Or that you are easily pleased  - well, why not? Or that you have a lot of Pisces in you...too true... IP: Logged |
