The Most Successful

Four old married buddies are trading stories around the 19th hole. The first father says, “I was worried that my son was gonna be a loser because he started out as the lot boy at a local car dealership. But, as it turned out, he got a break, they made him a salesman and he was such a good salesman that he eventually bought his own dealership. In fact, he’s so successful that he just gave his best girl a new Mercedes for her birthday.”

The second father says, “I, too, was worried that my son was gonna be a loser too because he started out raking leaves for a realtor. But, as it turned out, he got a break, they made him a commissioned salesman and he was such a good salesman that he eventually bought the real estate firm. In fact, he’s so successful that he just gave his best girl a new house for her birthday!”

The third father says, “I, too, was worried that my son was gonna be a loser because he started out sweeping floors in a brokerage house. But, as it turned out, he got a break, they made him a broker and he was such a good salesman that he eventually bought the firm. In fact, he’s so successful that he just gave his best girl a million dollars worth of stock for her birthday!”

The fourth father just smiled. “Well, I, too, was worried that my son was gonna be a loser because he started out as a hairdresser. And he remains a hairdresser after all these years. And what’s worse, I just learned he’s gay, with several boyfriends.” The other fathers look at each other and shake their heads. But the fourth father continued, “Ah, but things could be worse.

He just had a birthday, and he tells me his boyfriends gave him a new Mercedes, a new house, and a million dollars worth of stock!”
