Rising Sons

Four mates, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a party. After a few drinks, one of the men had to use the men's room.

Those who remained talked about their families.

The first bloke boasted, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company in the mail room. He studied economics and business administration, and soon began to climb the corporate ladder. Now he's the president of the company. He's become so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday!"

The second man responded, "That's awesome! 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 wealthy that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday!"

The third father said, "Well, that is impressive! My son studied at the country's best university 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 5,000 square metre mansion!"

The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned from the men's room. He 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. Howe 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 looked stunned. One said, "What a shame... how disappointing for you."

The fourth man replied: "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son I'm proud of him and I love him."

"And he hasn't done too badly either. His birthday was two weeks ago, and he received a beautiful mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the line Mercedes from his three boyfriends."
