WHY HE FIRED HIS SECRETARY
Two weeks ago was my 45th 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, "By George,
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.
