Have you heard about the Divorced Barbie doll? These days Barbie dolls come in all shapes and sizes as well as many different colours. There are Barbie dolls of different ages and with different jobs and hobbies.
There is even Ken, Barbie’s boyfriend. The Barbie related products just keep on coming as long as the designers can come up with ideas and as long as customers keep buying them.
But I digress, back to Divorced Barbie…
A man was driving home one evening, when he suddenly realized that it was his daughter’s birthday and he hadn’t bought her a birthday present.
In a panic because it was getting late and the shops were due to close, he drove to the local mall, practically ran to the toy store, and he asked the store manager “How much is that new Barbie in the window?”
The Manager replied, “Which one? We have lots of Barbie dolls, including:
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 to the Nightclub for $19.95 …
and Divorced Barbie for $375.00.”
The man looked astonished. “Why is the Divorced Barbie $375.00, when all the others are $19.95?”
The store manager replied…
“Well, Divorced Barbie comes with Ken’s car, Ken’s House, Ken’s boat, Ken’s dog, Ken’s cat and Ken’s furniture.”
