The Friday Funny for 9/12

Well, once again, Cherry's Dad has sent out the weekly Friday Bad Joke list and Cherry has posted her pick of the jokes. I picked one that I have heard before, but still is one of the best ones I have ever seen:

Recently a "Husband Shopping Center" opened in Dallas, where single women could go
to choose a husband from among many men. It was laid out with five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor, and if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place, never to return.

A couple of girlfriends went to the place to find men. On the first floor the door had a sign saying, "These men have jobs and love kids."

The women read the sign and said, "Well, that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" so up they went.

The second floor said, "These men have high-paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good-looking."

"Hmmm," said the girls. "But I wonder what's further up?"

The third floor: "These men have high-paying jobs, are extremely good-looking, love kids and help with the housework."

"Wow!" said the women. "Very tempting, BUT there's more further up!" and up they went.

Fourth floor: "These men have high-paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good-looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak."

"Oh, mercy! But just think what must be awaiting us further on!" So up to the fifth floor they went.

The sign on that floor said, "This floor is empty and exists only to prove that women are impossible to please."

I, of course, was on the first floor for 10 years while living in Dallas, and never saw anyone open the door.

Oh, as an added bonus, this was a quip in one of the quip lists that I just loved:

When you go into court, just remember that you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
