Barbie - The true story

A guy was driving home one evening when he suddenly realizes
that it is his daughter's birthday and that he hasn't bought her
anything. Out the corner of his eye he sees a shopping mall.
Knowing it was "now or never", he pulls his car through three
lanes of traffic, finds a parking bay and runs into the mall.

After a frantic search he finds a toy store, goes inside and
attracts the attention of a shop assistant. When asked what he
would like, he simply says "a Barbie doll". The shop assistant
looks at him in the particularly condescending manner that only
shop assistants can muster up and asks "Which Barbie would that
be, sir?"

The man looks surprised so the assistant continues "We have
Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for
$19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the
Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Night Clubbing for $19.95, and
Divorced Barbie for $265.00"

The man can't help himself and asks "why is Divorced Barbie
$265.00 when all the other Barbies are selling for $19.95?"

"That's obvious!" says the assistant, "Divorced Barbie comes
with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's furniture ...."
