Barbie

by Majid on

I just could not help but write this:

A little girl and her mom are shopping for a Barbie doll.

The store employee said:

We have "model" Barbie for $19.95.

"teacher" Barbie for $19.95. 

"nurse" Barbie for $19.95 and ........"divorced" Barbie for $69.99!

WOW!! mom said, why "divorced" one is so expensive?

-- Because "divorced" Barbie comes with Ken's house, boat, motor home and his bussiness!
