The expensive Barbie

>A father leaves work a little late one night and on his way home, he
> remembers that it's his daughter's birthday and he hasn't bought a
> gift.
> He parks his car in front of a toy store and asks the salesperson, "How
> much is the Barbie in the window?"
>
> With a convincing voice the salesperson replies, "Well we have 'Barbie
> goes to the Gym' for $19.95, 'Barbie plays Volleyball' for
> $19.95, 'Barbie goes Shopping' for $19.95, 'Barbie goes to the Beach'
> for $19.95, 'Barbie goes Dancing' for $19.95, and 'Divorced Barbie' for
> $265.95."
>
> The surprised man asks, "What? Why does the divorced Barbie cost
> $265.95
> when the rest are only $19.95?"
>
> Taking a deep breath, the salesperson responds, "Sir... the 'Divorced
> Barbie' comes with Ken's car, Ken's house, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture,
> Ken's computer, and one of Ken's friends."
