HAPPY BIRTHDAY
or why I fired my secretary
by some unknown male.
Two weeks ago, was my forty-fifth
birthday, and I wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway. I went into
breakfast, knowing my wife would be pleasant and say Happy Birthday and
probably have a present for me.
She didn't even say Good Morning,
let alone any Happy Birthday. I said, well, that's wives for you.
The children will remember. The children came into breakfast and didn't
say a word. When I started to 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; someone
had remembered.
I worked until noon. About noon
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; we went out into the country to a little private
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,
we had another martini and smoked a cigarette and
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 big
birthday cake, followed by my co-workers, wife and children. All were singing
Happy Birthday.... and there on the couch I sat ... with nothing on but
my socks......
