Four Friends

This is an old one.

Four friends reunited at a party after thirty years. After a few

laughs and drinks, one of them left to visit the rest room. The

others began to talk about their kids and their successes.


The first man said, "I am really proud of my son; he is my pride

and joy. He started working at the bottom of a very successful

company. He studied economics and business administration, and he was

soon promoted and began to climb the corporate ladder, becoming the

general manager. Now he is the president of the company. He is so rich

that he could afford to give his best friend a top-of-the-line Mercedes

Benz for his birthday."

The second man said, "Wow, that's terrific! My son also is my

pride and joy, I am very proud of him. He started working at a travel

agency for a big airline. He went to flight school to become a pilot and

also managed to become a partner in the company where he now owns a

majority of the assets. He became so rich that he recently gave his best

friend a brand new jet for his birthday."

The third man said, "Well, well, congratulations! My son is also

my pride and the apple of my eye and he is also wealthy. He studied

in the best universities and became an engineer. He started his own

construction company and became quite successful and a multimillionaire.

He too gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for

his birthday -- he gave him a 30,000 sq ft mansion built especially

for his friend."

The three friends congratulated each other mutually for the successes of

their sons. The fourth friend who had gone to the restroom returned

and asked, "What is going on -- what are all the congratulations for?"

One of the three explained, "We were talking about the mutual

pride we feel for the successes of our sons." And then he asked, "What

about your son?"

The fourth man replied, "My son is gay and he makes a living dancing as

a stripper at a nightclub." The three friends commiserated, "What a

shame -- that must be horrible for you. What disappointment you must

feel." The fourth man replied, "Oh no, I am not ashamed. Not at all. He

is my son and I love him well. He is my pride and joy, and he is very

fortunate, too. Did you know that his birthday just passed and the other

day he received a brand new jet, a beautiful 30,000 sq ft mansion, and a

top-of-the-line Mercedes Benz from his three boyfriends."
