A couple were celebrating 50 years together. Their three kids, all
very successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honor.
"Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad," gushed son number one , now renowned
orthopedist,.... "Sorry I'm running late. I had an emergency at the
hospital with a patient, you know how it is, and I didn't have time to
get you a gift."
"Not to worry," said the father. "The important thing is that we're
all together today."
Son number two, trial lawyer, arrived and announced, "You and Mom look
great, Dad. I just flew in from Los Angeles between depositions and
didn't have time to shop for you."
"It's nothing," said the father. "We're glad you were able to come."
Just then the daughter,a Wall streeter, arrived. "Hello and happy
anniversary! I'm sorry, but my boss is sending me out of town and I
was really busy packing so I didn't have time to get you anything."
After they had finished dessert, the father said, "There's something
your mother and I have wanted to tell you for a long time. You see,
we were very poor. Despite this, we were able to send each of you to
college.
Throughout the years your mother and I knew that we loved each other
very much, but we just never found the time to get married."
The three children gasped and all said, "You mean we're bastards?"
"Yep," said the father. "And cheap ones too."
