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 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" "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.
