  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.
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."
