Why I Fired My 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 would 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."
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
