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 eighth birthday, the Sultan
took him to one side. "Son, you bring so much
happiness into my life. Anything you want, I 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 Microsoft.
