WHY I FIRED MY SECRETARY...
Several weeks ago 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 leftfor 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
into the country 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. :twisted:
