Four friends were talking at a party. After a few drinks, one of the men had to use the restroom. Those who stayed started talking 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 he told me he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday."
The second guy said, "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 he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday."
The third man said: "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 too, a 30,000 square foot mansion."
As the three friends were congratulating each other, the fourth returned from the restroom and asked what all the congratulations were about.
One of the three said: "We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. What about yours, what’s he doing?"
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, you must feel very disappointed."
The fourth man replied, "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love him. And apparently he hasn't done too bad. His birthday was two weeks ago, and his three boyfriends just gave him a 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet, and a top of the line Mercedes."
