George and his wife were about to celebrate 50 years together. The three
kids, all very successful careerists, but not as attentive as the parents
would have liked, agreed to a Sunday dinner at the old folks house. Of
course, they were all late, as usual, and the excuses flowed like wine:
"Happy Anniversary, Dad!" gushed son # 1 . . . "I'm sorry I'm running late
. . . had an emergency at the hospital, you know how it is, and I didn't
have time to stop to get you guys a present!"
"Not to worry!" said the old man . . . "The important thing is, we're
together!"
Son #2 came rushing in. "POPS! you're lookin' good! And MOM! you're still
beautiful, love! I just got in from LA where I closed a big deal! Came
straight from the airport, and didn't have time to buy you a gift . . . I'm
so sorry!"
"It's nothing," said George . . we're together, that's the main thing! Son
#3 said, "Mom, Dad, the firm is shipping me to Europe for a conference. I
gotta run as soon as dinner's over . . . didn't have time for a shopping
trip!"
George sighed, "I don't care, we just like being together!" Halfway through
the meal, George, in a reflective mood, said . . . "Listen, you three . .
Something's been on my mind, and I want to tell you about it . . . your Mom
and I . . well, we came to this country during the war, penniless, desperate
. . and in the struggle to survive, I'm afraid we never got around to
getting married . . . we just knew we loved each other, and after a few
years, it didn't seem important, so . . . "
The three offspring, with a collective gasp, said, "DAD! You mean . . .
you mean to say . . . we're .. . . BASTARDS?"
"YEAH, and CHEAP ones, too!" retorted the old man
