Divorced Barbie - Merry Christmas Folks!

[bigjohnsd]

Coming towards Christmas a father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it's his daughter asked Santa for a Barbie for Christmas.

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.

While I do appreciate the humor and enjoyed the joke women often give the farm away to get out of a marriage. Don't ask me how I know.

I thought the post was hilarious, but Ive been married to the same woman for 43 years.

I sent it to two friends who have been through divorce. One was cleaned and hung out to dry in his. The other was left more or less without loss other than companionship.

Neither thought it was funny.

I guess its all about perspective.

I like to divide the worlds problems into two categories. Those with only one moron as a principal and those with more morons as principal participants.

Many of the one moron problems are solvable, but many multi- moron are unsolvable.

There are two cases where single moron problems are unsolvable. The first is marriage. The second is diplomacy, which may just be the generalized extension of the first. Maybe these are just partnership examples.

In marriage it takes two to make it work. Just one to screw it up.

There are counter examples. Like the spouse who suffers along for the sake of the children or for fear of family shame. But these usually just draw out the time frame and dont really represent solutions.

You are so right, and I don't have to ask.
