Greek joke of the day

Okay, I am going to devote a lot of this blog to translating jokes, so readers can get a feel for Greek humor. This one comes from a joke site called Yeladeros. It’s called “Gifts.”

Four men who had been friends in school met again 25 years later for a coffee. They started to talk about the accomplishments of their lives, and each one bragged about his son.

The first one started:

“My son? Ah, I don’t have any complaints. I taught him and he became big and great! Now he’s the general manager of Mercedes for Europe and Asia. Lots of money. He scatters it. Yeah, the day before yesterday one of his friends had a birthday and my son gave him a Mercedes SLK Cabrio...”

The second one continued:

“And mine... He is one of the biggest civil engineers in our town. Money with a tail! And  coincidentally, the day before yesterday he gave a friend a 2,000-square-meter villa!”

And the third one said:

“Mine is a pilot, and he has opened his own airline company which is going very well. And imagine, the day before yesterday he gave one of his friends a personal Lear Jet. Talk about money!”

The fourth man came back from the toilet. He hadn’t heard a word.

“What are you talking about?”

“We’re talking about our sons,” said one of the men. “Why don’t you tell us about yours? What has he done with his life?”

And the fourth one said:

“My son is gay! But I don’t have any complaints. He gets along very well. He works for one of the biggest shows in the city, he’s famous, sought-after and very well-loved by his friends. The day before yesterday his three boyfriends gave him fantastic gifts: a Mercedes SLK, a 2,000-square-meter villa and a personal Lear Jet!”
