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:
 
                   WELCOME TO THE HUSBAND STORE!!
 
           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 floor, but you cannot go back down except to
 exit the building!
           Happy Shopping!!!!
 
    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 like  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!

Odds and ends


Detecting Prostate cancer

Placebo and nocebo effects

Grieving elephants 


Let him go let him tarry

Now Bridget was a colleen with an independent air
And Bridget had a sweetheart who was gay and debonair
He would woo her, court her, jilt her nearly ev'ry other day
Till finally Miss Bridget was heard at last to say

Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me, nor I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy

Then he wrote to her a letter sayin' he was rather bad
She sent him back an answer sayin' she was very glad
Then he wrote to her another sayin' he was well and strong
But she cared no more about him than the ground he walked upon

He can go to his old mother and set her mind at ease
For she's an old, old woman, and very hard to please
She can say that I am flighty as she has always done
'Cause I don't want to marry her great big ugly son

Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me, nor I don't care for him
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy

Let him go, let him go
Let him go, let him tarry, let him stay
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy


The years rolled on and left poor Bridget high upon the shelf
And often in the evenin' when she's sittin' by herself
She remembers that young fellow, so debonair and gay
And wishes oh, so often, he'd never heard her say

Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim
He doesn't care for me, nor I don't care for him

Let him go, let him go
Let him go, let him tarry, let him stay
He can go and get another that I hope he will enjoy
For I'm goin' to marry a far nicer boy
