A couple were celebrating 50 years together.. Their three kid, all very successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honor. "Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad," json 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."
