"Don't build castles in the air"
Permit me to begin by sharing a joke with you. In a certain city, a shopping mall was opened and it had in stock "GOOD HUSBANDS ON SALE" For spinsters who cared. As expected, ladies trooped to the shop in their numbers. They were strict institutions at the entrance of this six-floor Mall on how it operated.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
. You may visit this shop once!
. You may choose just a man from any floor
. Once you pass a floor, you will not descend to choose from that floor again.
. Finally, all attributes of men increases as you ascend the floors.
. Happy shopping!
MANAGEMENT:
A young lady visited this shop and on the first floor the sign read:
These men have jobs and love God.
She proceeded to the next floor, where a sign read:
These men have jobs, love God and love children.
"Nice", she said and proceeded to the next floor, whose sign read:
These men have jobs, love God, love children and are extremely good looking...
"Wow!" she exclaimed, but felt compelled to go further to the fourth floor. The sign there read:
These men have jobs, love God, love children, are extremely cool headed, smashingly handsome and help out with household chores.
God have mercy, She exclaimed! She couldn't wait to move to the next floor. There...
These men have jobs, love God, love children, are cool headed, drop dead gorgeous, help out in house hold chores and are very romantic.
"Heavens!" she exclaimed. She was tempted to pick her husband from this floor but then, "why not go on for something better?" she thought and headed for the last floor. And the instruction on the last floor read...
THERE ARE NO MEN ON THIS FLOOR!
THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US.
HAVE A NICE DAY!
You may find this story amusing but it is not funny seeing singles fabricate lofty standards in relation to the spouse they desire to go down the aisle with.
It makes you wonder if they really desire to be married. You see ladies desiring a man as rich as Aliko Dangote, as handsome as Donald Soyinka all wrapped up in one person. Wouldn't that be the 8th wonder in the world?
Let's be rational and quit building castles in the air. Remember, "The best of men at their best are still men".
