He started working at a company at the bottom. He studied business and began to climb the corporate ladder, and now he&#8217;s the president of the company. He&#8217;s so rich he gave his best friend a top-of-the-line Mercedes for Christmas!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Damn, that\u2019s terrific!&#8221; the second guy said, &#8220;My son is also my pride and joy. He started working as a flight attendant on corporate jets. Then went to flight school to become a pilot. He became a partner where he owns the majority of the company. He is so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet as a Christmas gift!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well that&#8217;s terrific!&#8221; the third man said. &#8220;My son studied in the best universities and became an engineer, started his own construction company, and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave an expensive Christmas gift to his best friend: a 30,000 square foot mansion!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The three guys are congratulating each other just as the fourth guy returns from the restroom to ask what are all the congratulations about?<\/p>\n<p>One of the three guys said, &#8220;We\u2019re talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. You have a son too, right?

And he hasn&#8217;t done too badly for himself, either. Why, just this Christmas alone he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet, and a top-of-the-line Mercedes from his three best customers!&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I\u2019m pretty sure we\u2019ve had this one or something pretty similar before but it still makes me chuckle, probably because I can see myself doing the same thing!<\/p>\n<p>A wife asked her husband, &#8220;Honey, could you please run to the store and get a carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get a dozen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A while later the husband returned with a case of quart milk cartons.<\/p>\n<p>Staring incredulously at the 12-pack case of milk, his wife asked, &#8220;Why did you buy so much milk?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Her husband said, &#8220;They had eggs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water.
