Their three successful children all agreed to join them for a special Sunday dinner.

“Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!” exclaimed the eldest son, a surgeon. “Sorry I’m late. I had an emergency at the hospital and couldn’t get a gift.”Gift baskets

“Not to worry,” the father replied, “the important thing is that we’re all together today.”

Son number two, a lawyer, arrived next. “You and Mom look great, Dad,” he said. “I just flew in from Los Angeles between depositions and didn’t have time to shop for a gift.”

“It’s okay,” the father reassured him. “We’re just glad you made it.”

The daughter, a marketing executive, arrived last. “Hello and Happy Anniversary! I’m sorry, but my boss is sending me out of town, and I’ve been busy packing, so I didn’t have time to get you anything.”

After dessert, the father spoke up, “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 managed to send each of you to college. Throughout the years, we knew we loved each other deeply, but we never found the time to actually get married.”

The three children gasped and exclaimed, “You mean we’re bastards?”

“Yep,” the father said with a grin, “and cheap ones, too!”


A cop was patrolling late at night in a well-known spot.

He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing.

The cop carefully approaches the car to get a closer look. Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, knitting.

Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walks to the car and gently raps on the driver’s window.

The young man lowers his window . “Uh, yes, officer?”

The cop says: “What are you doing?”]

The young man says: “Well, Officer, I’m reading a magazine.”

Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop says: “And her, what is she doing?”

The young man shrugs: “Sir, I believe she’s knitting a pullover sweater.”

Now, the cop is totally confused. A young couple. Alone, in a car, at night in a Lover’s lane….and nothing is happening!

The cop asks: “What’s your age, young man?”

The young man says : “I’m 22, sir.”

The cop asks: “And her what’s her age?”
