Got this in an e-mail:
>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.
