Friends

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 and those who remained talked about their children and their accomplishments.

The first guy said, ”I am very proud of my son. He started working for a big airline, and 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 second guy 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 something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: A 30,000 square foot mansion."

The third man said: "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel, and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company. He’s so rich he gave his best friend a top of the line Maserati for his birthday."

They were still congratulating 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. He hasn't done too badly either and he has some wonderful friends. Why just last week he had his birthday and you know what? His three best boyfriends gave him a brand new jet, a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, and a top of the line Maserati .
