This reporter has been informed
by the spokesman for the Mattel Company
that Barbie Millicent Roberts and Ken Carson
have terminated their relationship of 43 years.

“He’s so stiff now,” remarked Barbie,
“he never tended the lawn, never shaved,
and he felt like a damned skeleton when we made love.”

“Her and all her stupid wedding gowns,” Ken said.
“Always a bridesmaid and never a bride,
no matter how many pink convertibles you own.”

Lawyers for the couple say she gets the house in Malibu,while he gets the shaft.
Could it BE any sadder? remarked their mutual friend, Chandler Bing.
