Two Friends

Two friends, come of age at the same time. One boy's father presents him with a brand-new pistol. On the other side of town, his friend receives a beautiful gold watch. The next day in school, the two boys are showing each other what they got. It turns out that each boy likes the other's present better, and so they swap. That night, the boy who was given the gun is seen by his father looking at the watch.

"Where did you get that watch?" his father asks.

The boy explains that he and his fried had traded. The father blows his top.

"What!? Idiot! What's the matter with you? Listen, son, some day, you maybe get married. Then, maybe some day you come home and find your wife in bed with another man. What the *hell* are you going to do then? Look at your watch and ask him how long he'll be?"
