The following is a true story.

A couple of years ago, a little girl was invited to her friend's birthday
party.  She and her mother discussed what to buy as the present; they
decided that they'd like to get her something from the Barbie line.

So off they went to the toy store.  When they arrived they split up to case
the joint.  Mommie went off to look at the Barbies, whiles the girl went to
check out the Kens.

After a couple of minutes the girl came running up in great excitement.
"Mommy!  Mommy!  Look at this!"

"This" was a cross-dressed Ken doll, complete and sealed in the box, not an
article of manly clothing on him!  Mother and daughter were amazed!  I
understand that his hat, purse, and shoes were a perfect match.

(Whether they decided to buy the thing or not is a story untold.)
