The cost of Barbie dolls
By Ian Urie
One day a father gets off work and on his way home he decides to stop at
the toy store, to pick up a Birthday Present for his daughter.
He goes in and asks the salesperson, "How much is the Barbie in the
display window?"
The salesperson answers, "Which one? We have:
Work out Barbie for $19.95,
Shopping Barbie for $19.95,
Beach Barbie for $19.95,
Disco Barbie for $19.95,
and Divorced Barbie for $265.95."
The amazed father asks: "What? Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and
the others only $19.95?"
The salesperson answers :
"That's because Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken's Car, Ken's House,
Ken's Boat, Ken's Furniture, Ken's Computer and... one of Ken's
Friends."
