Four friends who hadn't seen each other in thirty years are reunited
at a party.
After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those
who
remained talked about their kids.

The first guy said, 'My son is my pride and joy. He got a good
Catholic education
and then 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 my pride and
joy. He also got
a good Catholic education and 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 attended a good
Catholic school,
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 rest
room 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 went to a state school, 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.
