The Sons

Four men got together to play golf one sunny morning.
As they were heading out to the course, one of them
was detained by a phone call. The other three were
discussing their children while walking to the first
tee. "My son," said one proudly, "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 brags that his son has worked his way up
through a stock brokerage firm, and has become so
successful that 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, the three
smugly tell him that they have been discussing how
successful their progeny are, and ask what line of
work his son is in."To tell the truth, I'm not very
pleased how my son has turned out," he replies "For
fifteen years, he's been a hairdresser, and I've just
recently
discovered he's ****." As the other three recoil in
horror, he continues, "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 new
cars, and a big stock portfolio."
