The Divorced Barbie Doll

My apologies to you trashy readers, I was sick last night so I did not have time or energy to write you a thought provoking original post of mine. I am truly sorry. So to make it up to you here is a nice little joke I got in an email a while back. I hope you like it.


One day a father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it's his daughter's birthday.


He pulls over to a Toy Shop and asks the sales person, “How much for one of those Barbie's in the display window?”


The salesperson answers, “Which one do you mean, Sir? We have: Work Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Ballerina Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95, Skater Barbie for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.95.”


The amazed father asks: “It's what?! Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?”


The annoyed salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and answers: “Sir, Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken's Car, Ken's House, Ken's Boat, Ken's Furniture, Ken's Computer, one of Ken's Friends, and a key chain made with Ken's balls.”

    I hear that Divorced Ken is $600 because he comes with alimony payments.

    Ouch. Ken now sleeps in the box he came in, when he should have pulled out of the other box that he came in.
    cheers, Sausage...

    It is obvious from the car that Ken is a stinkin Dallas Fan - so no wonder she left him! Hope that you are feeling better!

    @ Bruce, ok I will check it out. And you are correct about the work thing.

    @ Texa, that might be true.

    @ Laughingmom, I did not notice that, but that explains a lot.

    @ Cinderita, glad I could make you laugh.

    That would be funny if it weren't the opposite of my situation. Only no balls to be had on a keychain for the ex-hubs...

    Way funny! Did Ken ever get laid? Or was he just there to support her shopping habits?

    @ Empress, thank you. I am starting to feel better thanks.

    @ Ruth, exactly.

    @ G, thanks.

    @ Bushman, I am pretty sure he was only there to buy her lazy ass stuff.

    I followed you here from your comment on Ruth's blog because your moniker caught my attention, also living in oilfield territory. I loved this post, gave me a great chuckle for the day and a joke that I'll have to pass on. I'll definitely be stopping by again, looks like a great place to visit. There should be more blogging dads!!

    Meanwhile, Ken's banging Midge like a screen door...

    @ Robyn, yep that is true.

    @ Bluzdude, that is beyond true. Midge also talks less so I guess it is worth the price he paid.

    It was divorce foresight that produced Ken without genitalia.

    It's true.

    Okay, it's not. But still.

    Guess they didn't have a prenup...can't imagine she'd get the family jewels had there been one.

    Okay, I know it's a sad reality, but it was one helluva clever way to illustrate it. lol

    @ Stephanie, that is so true.

    @ Pat, yes it is.

    @ Virgin, I don't think that they did.
