jie look! it really does exist

i got this email from ben just a few minutes ago, and the title read: "A Store Selling Husbands". the first thing that came to my mind was one (among gazillions) of the wacky conversations my sister and i have when we are high/bored/in crazy stupid mode.

i think it started with us asking my cousin sister what she wanted for her christmas pressie, and to which she replied a guy. so we said ok, we'll go the the guy supermarket, where they stock all kinds of guys, of which at least one would be to your liking. frozen, canned, instant, u name it, they've got it, asian, aussie, eurasian... they stock it... and on and on it went. (disclaimer: we do not talk like this on a regular basis, it was just.. one of those moments.. you know..)

so yea.. back to the email, here was an excerpt ( is that the right spelling? oh well!):

WELCOME TO THE HUSBAND STORE:

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! except to exit the building!

so yea! they really do exist.. wel.. not the way we had visualised it.. but heck!

this post really has no actual point.. yes.. it is totally pointless... i just found the email amusing and coincidental.. here's the rest of that email... didnt put it up there just now cos it sort of veers off my intended topic (if there was one to begin with..) towards the end..

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a 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!

so yea... this ends my oh-so-pointless post!
