50th Anniversay

 I just love a story with a Happy Ending!



50th Anniversary......


A couple were celebrating 50 years together.. Their three kids, all very successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honor.




"Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad," gushed son 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."

Lots of folks are celebrating anniversaries this month and I wish to congratulate each and everyone. As for me, well, on the 9th I can proudly claim we survived 42 years together and still going strong...one of these days, we're gonna wake up and say; "who the hell are you again?"

Went to the movies last night, The American was playing and Machete, we chose the American -- mistake!  It was one of those movies where you honestly did not get the point and even at the end, it still was senseless and one of those; "I'm a bad guy, mercenary and now I want out and what do you think happens?"  Ya, we should have seen Machete.
