Birthday Gifts

Four guys, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, were reunited at a party.  After several drinks, one of the  men had to use the restroom.

Those  who remained 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 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 and then went to flight school  to become a pilot.  Eventually he became a partner in the company. Now 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 just terrific! My son studied at 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. He saw then and asked what all the congratulations were 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 disappointment."

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