01/26/07 Grif.Net - Birthday Shopping

[Dr Bob Griffin]

Christmas is over, but with TEN grandkids, birthday present shopping is
another adventure. So I walked into a store because I saw a Barbie doll and
considered it for my granddaughters.

"How much is that Barbie in the window?" I asked the shop assistant.

In a condescending manner she responded, "Which Barbie? We have . .
Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95
Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95
Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95
Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95
Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95 and
Barbie Gets a Divorce for $265.00."

I had to ask, you know. Wouldn't you?

"Why is Divorced Barbie $265.00 when all the others are only $19.95?"

"Isn't that obvious?" the assistant declared. "Divorced Barbie comes with
Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture..."

Oh, my.
