divorced barbie

A dad is on his way home a bit late from the office when he realizes that he has not bought his daughter a Christmas gift yet, so he stops at a toy store. Inside, he sees a Barbie display and asks the sales girl how much the Barbies are.

The girl responds, "Which one? We have:
Gymnasium Barbie - $19.95;
Volleyball Barbie - $19.95;
Shopping Barbie - $19.95;
Surfer Barbie - $19.95;
Disco Barbie - $19.95; and
Divorced Barbie - $299.95"

Shocked, the man asks, "Why is Divorced Barbie $299.95 when all the other Barbies are $19.95?"

Exasperated, the clerk responds, "Sir, Divorced Barbie comes with:
Ken's car;
Ken's house;
Ken's boat;
Ken's furniture;
Ken's jewellery;
Ken's money;
Ken's computer;
and Ken's best friend."
