So I fired my secretary today because,,,,,
Yesterday was my 40th birthday and I wasn't feeling too good
that morning. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant
and say, "Happy Birthday!", and probably have a present for me.
As it turned out, she didn't even say good morning, let alone any
Happy birthday. I thought, well, that's wives for you, the
children will remember. The children came in to breakfast and didn't say
a word.
So when I left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and
despondent..
As I walked into my office, my secretary Janet said, "Good
morning, Boss "Happy Birthday". And I felt a little better that someone
had remembered. I worked until noon, then Janet knocked on my door
and said "You know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and it's your
birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and me." I said, " that's the
greatest thing I've heard all day."
"Let's go!" We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go;
instead we went out to a
private little place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch
tremendously.
On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it's such a
beautiful day. We don't need to go back to the office, do we?" I
said, "No, I guess not." She said, "Let's go to my apartment."
After arriving at her apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I
think I'll go into the bedroom and slip into something more
comfortable" "Sure!" I excitedly replied.
She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came
out carrying a huge birthday cake ----- followed by my wife,
children, and dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And I just sat there ----
on the couch ----
naked.
