Die middag in de mailbox : Barbie

A dad is on his way home a bit late from the office when he realizes that it’s his daughter’s birthday and he has not bought her a gift.

So he stops at a toy shop to buy his daughter a Barbie.
Inside he sees Barbie displays and asks the salesgirl how much the Barbies are.

The girl responds: “Which one? We have
- Gymnasium Barbie: £14.99
- Volleyball Barbie: £14.99
- Shopping Barbie: £14.99
- Surfer Barbie: £14.99
- Disco Barbie: £14.99
- and Divorced Barbie: £249.99

Shocked, the man asks, “Why is Divorced Barbie £249.99 when all the other Barbies are £14.99?”

Exasperated, the girl 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…”
