After 60 years together, a couple’s three kids, all successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honour.
"Happy Anniversary, Mum and Dad," gushed Son No. 1. "Sorry I'm running late. I had an emergency with a patient at the hospital, 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 No. 2 arrived. "You and Mum look great, Dad. I just flew in from London 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! 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 really poor, but we managed to send each of you to University. Through the years, your mother and I knew we loved each other very much, but we just never found the time to get married."
The three children gasped and said almost in unison, "WHAT? You mean we're bastards?"
"Yep," said the father. "Cheap ones, too."
