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.

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
airplane". 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, 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 favorite 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"

So the Sultan, not wishing to do anything by halves, bought him
