Four friends, who hadn’t seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room.  Those who remained talked about their kids.

The first guy said, ‘My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel.  He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he’s the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday.’

The second guy said, ‘Damn, that’s terrific! My son is also my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline, then went to flight school to become a pilot . Eventually he became a partner in the company, where he owns the majority of its assets. He’s so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday.’

The third man said: ‘Well, that’s terrific! My son studied in the best universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own construction company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: A 30,000 square foot mansion’

The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned from the rest-room and asked: ‘What are all the congratulations for?’

One of the three said: ‘We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. ..What about your son?’

The fourth man replied: ‘My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub.’

The three friends said: ‘What a shame…what a disappointment.’

The fourth man replied: ‘No, I’m not ashamed. He’s my son and I love him. And he’s lucky, too. His birthday just passed and the other day he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the line Mercedes from his three boyfriends.’

A man was on the water for his weekly fishing trip.

He began his day with an 18# salmon on the first drift and a 17# on the second. On the third drift he had just caught his first ever salmon over 30 pounds when his cell phone rang.

It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.

The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he’d be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best day ever on the water.

He decided to get in a couple of more drifts before heading to the hospital. He ended up fishing the rest of the morning, finishing his trip with two salmon like he’d never seen, both over 30 pounds. He was jubilant…. Then he remembered his wife.

Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife’s condition.

The doctor glared at him and shouted, “You went ahead and finished your fishing trip didn’t you! I hope you’re proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the water your wife has been languishing in the ICU! It’s just as well you went ahead and finished because it will be more than likely the last fishing trip you ever take!”

“For the rest of her life she will require ’round the clock care. And you’ll be her care giver forever!”

The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.

The doctor then chuckled and said, “I’m Just pulling your leg. She’s dead. What’d you catch?”
