The Sultan of Brunei was
getting a bit cheesed off as he had 6 children, all girls, and
therefore had no son and heir. Imagine his joy then, when one of
his wives presented him with his only son and heir. Just before his
son's sixth birthday, the Sultan took him to one side and
said,
"Son, I am very proud of
you. Anything you want, I shall get for you".
His son replied, "Daddy, I
would like an aeroplane".
Not wanting to do anything
by halves, his father bought him British Airways. Just before his
son's seventh birthday, the Sultan took him to one
side.
"Son, you are my pride and
joy. Anything you want, I shall get for you."
His son replied, "Daddy, I
would like a boat".
Not wanting to do anything
by halves, his father bought him P&O Ferries. Just before his
son's eight birthday, the Sultan took him to one
side.
"Son, you bring so much
happiness into my life. Anything you want, shall get for
you."
His son replied, "Daddy, I
would like something to watch films on".
Not wanting to do anything
by halves, his father bought him MGM
Studios and their cinemas,
where he watched all his favourite Western Movies. Just before his
son's ninth birthday, the Sultan took him to one
side.
"Son, you are an inspiration
to us all. Anything you want, I shall get for
you."
His son, who had caught the
'Western' movie bug, replied, "Daddy, I would like a cowboy
outfit".
Not wanting to do anything
by halves, his father went and bought him the England football
team.
