These four gents go out to play golf one sunny morning.
One is detained in the clubhouse, and the other three
are discussing their children while walking to the
first
tee.

“My son,” says one, “has made quite a name for himself
in the home building industry. He began as a carpenter,
but now owns his own design and construction firm.
He's
so successful in fact, in the last year he was able
to give a good friend a brand new home as a gift.”


The second man, not to be outdone, boasts how his
son
began his career as a car salesman, but now owns a
multi-
line dealership. “He's so successful, in fact, in
the
last six months he gave a friend two brand new cars
as a gift.”

The third man's son has worked his way up through
a
stock brokerage. And in the last few weeks has given
a good friend a large stock portfolio as a gift.

As the fourth man arrives at the tee box, another
tells
him that they have been discussing their progeny and
asks what line his son is in.

“To tell the truth, I'm not very pleased with how
my
son has turned out,” he replies. “For fifteen years,
he's been a hairdresser, and I've just recently discovered
he's a practicing homosexual. But, on the bright side,
he must be good at what he does because his last three
boyfriends have given him a brand new house, two cars,
and a big pile of stock certificates.”
