Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a
party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room.
Those who remained talked about their kids.
The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at
a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics
and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate
ladder, and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich
that he gave his best friend a top-of-the-line Mercedes for his
birthday."
The second guy said, "Darn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride
and joy. He started working for a big airline, then went to flight
school to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the
company, where he owns the majority of its assets. He's so rich that he
gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday."
The third man said, "Well, that's terrific! My son studied in the best
universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own
construction company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away
something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday:
a 30,000 square foot mansion."
The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned
from the restroom and asked, "What are all the congratulations for?"
One of the three said, "We were talking about the pride we feel for the
successes of our sons. What about your son?"
The fourth man replied, "My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a
stripper at a nightclub."
The three friends said, "What a shame. . . . What a disappointment."
The fourth man replied, "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love
him. And he hasn't done too bad either. His birthday was two weeks
ago, and he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new
jet, and a top-of-the-line Mercedes from his three boyfriends."
