The Four Fathers

Four fathers are out playing golf one day when one of them pops off to buy the drinks．While he’s gone the first father says，“You know，my son is doing so well in the Mercedes company that he gave one of his friends a new Merc fully loaded．”“So what？”the second father says，“My son is doing so well in the house business that he gave one of his friends a new house．”“Big deal，”says the third father．“My son is doing so well in the stock market that he gave one of his friends a whole stock portfolio．”Shortly after that，the fourth father comes back with the drinks．“What’s up？”he asks．“Oh，we were just talking about how well our sons are doing．How’s yours？”“Oh，well，he’s a dancer in a gay bar，”the fourth father admits，“but I’m not entirely against it，because three customers of his gave him a new Mercedes，a house，and a stock portfolio．”

四位父亲

一天，四位父亲出去打高尔夫球，其中一个离开去买饮料。他走后，一位父亲说：“你们知道吗，我儿子在奔驰公司干得很好，他送了一辆配置齐全的新奔驰车给他的朋友。”“是吗？”第二位父亲说，“我儿子房地产生意做得很出色，他送了一套新房给他的朋友。”“他们都很大方，”第三位父亲说，“而我儿子在股市干得很好，因此他把一份证券投资组合全都给了一位朋友。”过了不久，第四位父亲带着饮料回来了。“谈什么啊？”他问。“哦，我们正谈论各自儿子的工作成就。你儿子怎么样？”“哦，他在一家同性恋酒吧伴舞，”第四位父亲毫不隐讳，“但我一点也不反对，因为他的三个顾客分别送给了他一辆奔驰，一套新房和一份证券投资组合。”
