"This Made Me Smile..."

This is something I was actually told by my father as a child...

After a while, when we'd visit Sears, he stopped letting me visit the toy department by myself because he'd always find me admiring Barbie's gay BFF, Ken

What...? You didn't know Ken was gay!

Well, what's this then?

Despite being banned from the toy department, it was no great loss, there was always the guilty pleasures of the Sears Wish Book every Christmas

I also remember admiring Big Jim here... 

And wondering what else he could do with that "karate chop arm action"
