$ Friends

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, and 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.

They fainted!
