Four men were at a bar having a drink.

After several drinks, one of the men had

to use the restroom.


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.'

That's really funny....sometimes the world is a smaller place than we think!
