The four sons
4 friends who hadn't seen each other in thirty years are reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those who remained talked about their kids. The1st guy said, 'My son is my pride and joy. He got a good Catholic education and then 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 2nd guy said, 'Darn, that's terrific! My son is my pride and joy. He also got a good Catholic education and 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 3rd man said: 'Well, that's terrific! My son attended a good Catholic school, 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 3 friends congratulated each other just as the 4th returned from the restroom and asked: 'What are all the congratulations for?' One of the 3 said: 'We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. What about your son?' The 4th man replied: 'My son went to a state school, is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub.' The 3 friends said: 'What a shame... what a disappointment.' The 4th 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 2 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 3 boyfriends.'
