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.'
