"Behind every ugly mask of misfortune, lies the beautiful countenance of life", "life is a stage", "what is worth having is worth working hard for",

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.

Those who remained talked 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, 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
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 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 badly 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"
