The Husband Souk

[Al-khiyal]

A souk that sells husbands has just opened where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The souk is built like a majestic palace 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 souk.

So a woman goes to the souk to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: "Floor 1 - These men have jobs." The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes.

The second floor sign reads: "Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids." The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again.

The third floor sign reads: "Floor 3 -"These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking." "Hmmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"

The fourth floor sign reads: "Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework." "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "Very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up another flight.

The fifth floor sign reads: "Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak." "Oh, how wonderful!!! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?"

So up to the sixth floor she goes - running.

The sixth floor sign reads: "Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,456,789,012 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 Souk and have a nice day."

yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii shou 2adeeeeeeeeeemeh! (and i think posted somewhere else )

Did you know that in Syria (and maybe other places ) there actually is a "Husband Souk"... except that they're worth from 50 - 150 L.S. ($1-3)... Ya haram, they're REALLY poor guys that would sell themselves for a buck...

my, how the tables turn.........

Good idea, except that men should have the right to choose to whom they are sold to. The price wouldnt be money but beauty.

impossible to please? Maybe anxiously curious to see that miracle! (which does not exist, to find a type such as those on floor 5 is already a dream for most) or maybe searching the best for a great future for the children?

it is a joke, right? love is not for sale. Ah well maybe this is the modern way for an arranged marriage...i dont agree with such a system.
