  > The third man's son has worked his way up through a stock brokerage.
  > And in the last few weeks has given a good friend a large stock

  > I've just recently discovered he's a practicing homosexual. But, on
  > the bright side, he must be good at what he does because his last
  > three boyfriends have given him a brand new house, two cars, and a
  > big pile of stock certificates."
