Two weeks ago was my 44th birthday and I wasn't feeling too good that
morning. I went to breakfast and though 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. "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 a few of
our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And I just sat there..........
on the couch........
naked.
