I had a gut feeling the 6 review choices you get a day on YWO must be based on a scientific formula.

Eureka.

The Husband Store

A store selling husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman can choose a husband from many men.
The store has 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends
There is, however, a catch. If you open the door to any floor you have to choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot return..
So a woman goes to the shopping center 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?"
The second floor sign reads: These men have jobs and love kids.
The woman thinks, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?"
The third floor sign reads: These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking.
"Hmmm, better still" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"
The fourth floor sign reads: 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,
The fifth floor sign reads: These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good
looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak.
”Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further
on?"
The sixth floor sign reads: 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 Husband Mart and have a nice day.

My wife bought me in Dompti - need I say more?
There’s a juniper tree in my garden, but I have an uncle in Kiev.

You can wipe that smirk off yr face Pammy. (Did you have tt shot taken specially?)
You've all dwelt on the husband angle, but isn't the YWO selection process just the same?
You ditch yr betes noires like teenage fiction & get a fantasy, then a sci-fi bla bla bla...only to wish you cd go back & take the first bugger.
How's things Keely, btw? Long time no hear. Somebody get yr goat? Baaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Cheeky! It's not a smirk. It's me trying hard not to have a fit of giggles at the face that was being pulled opposite me. Sometimes I could spit after letting some go and then getting stuck with - nowt or the last in the pile. Assignments that is, not fellas! Nice to see old members coming out of the woodwork again.

Bugger, just realised that could be misconstrued!

I'm just wondering what your picture is of, Keel. Is it a kind of McDonalds chip-spider with bag to go and buy a husband? You know the way to a man's heart all right! Whoops I mean all that to refer to buying a wife but please don't give her chips she'll get hiccups. Besides she might prefer something more romantic. Just a thought.

Well I've just listened to a goat on Yotube & it sounded pretty much like baaaa to me.
Perhaps it depends on the local accent - the one in ? was Swedish.
Anyway, as far as Keely's concerned I don't think he's too fussy.
I seem to recall him once saying he couldn't tell the difference when it came to separating the sheep from the goats.
