60 Years Together

After 60 years together, the couples three kids, all successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their

honour. “Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad,” gushed Son No. 1. ‘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. “Important thing is we’re all together today.”

Son No. 2 arrived. “You and Mom look great, Dad. I just flew in from LA 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! 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 college. 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 bast***s?” “Yep”, said the father. “Cheap ones, too.”
