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 . . . '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 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 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."
