A store that sells new 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 this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the product increases as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

Episode 1 - Husband Store
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.

The second floor sign reads: 

Floor 2 – These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"  Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:  

Floor 5 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes on to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 – You are visitor 31,456,012 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.

Please read further, there's more…

Episode 2 – Wives Store
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner also opened a new Wives Store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

HKSAR CE elections 07

The Hon Donald Tsang in his election campaign..
曾特首角逐連任搵左「我會做好呢份工!」做競選口號
  

 如果換轉其他行業或者其他人應該會咁講:
 
 地盤佬:「我會鑽好呢個窿!」
 氣功師:「我會發好呢次功!」
 八達通公司:「我會整好八達通!」
 天文台:「我會測好呢個風!」
 整容醫生:「我會隆好呢個胸!」
 鐘錶師:「我會整好呢個鐘!」
 廚師:「我會爆好呢碟蔥!」
 麻將腳:「我會碰好呢隻東!」
 
 xx公司的專業員工:「我會五點九就鬆… …」
 
 果然係一個好口號!
