Gifts!


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
homebuilding 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, allows 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 
firm. And in the last few weeks, not to be outdone, he has given a 
good friend a large stock  portfolio as a gift.

As the fourth man arrives at the tee box, one of the guys 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."
