Four gents go out to play golf one sunny morning. One guy gets
detained in the clubhouse, so the other three head for the first tee,
and begin talking about their children. "My son, " says one, " has
made quite a name for himself in  the  building industry. He began
as a carpenter, but now owns his own construction and design company.
He is 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, declares, "My son began his
career as a car salesman, but now owns a multi-line dealership. He is
so successful, in fact, in the last six months he gave a friend two
brand new cars as a gift."
  The third man chimes in. "My son worked his way up in a stock
brokerage firm, and in the last few weeks he gave a good friend a
large stock portfolio as a gift."
 The fourth man finally arrives at the first tee, and the first
man tells him they have been discussing their progeny, and asks
what line of work his son is in.
  "To tell you the truth, I am not very pleased with how my son
has turned out," he replies. "For fifteen years, he has been a
hairdresser, and I have just recently discovered that he is a
homosexual. But, on the bright side, he must be very 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."
