Why I fired my Secretary.

Last week was my birthday

and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,

"Happy Birthday!",

and possibly have a small present for me.

As it turned out,

she barely said good morning,

let alone " Happy Birthday."

I thought...

Well, that's marriage for you,

but the kids.... They will remember.

My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast

and didn't say a word.

So when I left for the office,

I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said,

"Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday ! "

It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.

I worked until one o'clock ,

when Jane knocked on my door and said,

"You know, It's such a beautiful day outside,

and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me."

I said, "Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go !"

We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go.

She chose instead at a quite bistro with a private table.

We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office,

Jane said, "You know, It's such a beautiful day...

We don't need to go straight back to the office, Do We ?"

I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind ?" S

he said, "Let's drop by my apartment, it's just around the corner."

After arriving at her apartment,

Jane turned to me and said,

" Boss, if you don't mind,

I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment.

I'll be right back."

Ok." I nervously replied.

She went into the bedroom and,

after a couple of minutes,

she came out carrying a huge birthday cake ...

Followed by my wife, my kids,

and dozens of my friends and co-workers,

all singing "Happy Birthday".

And I just sat there....

On the couch...

Naked.
