Here you go, posted by Susan earlier in the week. Sounds like you need something to take your mind off things.
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 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 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.'
:sigh:
