Bragging Rights

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.

I had read that one before, but forgotten it. Thanks for posting it.

I'll add to the fun:

Three brothers were always arguing about which of them loved their mother the most, and which one did the most for her. On the occassion of her 80th birthday they decided to pull out all the stops. On the day itself they started bragging about their presents.

Bill, the oldest, went first: "I got her a huge mansion! She's gonna love it!"

Then John spoke up: "I got her a Bentley limosine, with a driver hired on for life!"

Jim, the youngest, topped them all: "I searched the world for something truly unique. I finally found a parrot that was raised in a monastery. Knowing how much mom loves to read the bible, I was delighted to find this bird that can quote every single passage from the whole thing. All she has to do is say the first couple of words, and the parrot will do the rest!"

Several weeks later, they all got thank-you notes from their mother.

"Dear William: The house is nice, but I live in two rooms and have to clean forty!"

"Dear John: The car is nice, but I never go anywhere. And, that driver is rude to me!"

"Dear James: Thank you for knowing what a mother truly wants. The chicken was delicious!"
