Two weeks ago was my 35th birthday and I wasn't feeling too hot that
morning anyway. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and
say "Happy Birthday" and probably a present for me. Forget "Happy
Birthday", She didn't even say "Good Morning".
I thought, "Well, that's wives for you, the children will remember."
Children came in to breakfast and didn't say a word. I started to the
office I was feeling pretty low.
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.
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, " 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 to 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 she
said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go change."
"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 wife, children, and dozens of our
friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And there I sat... on the couch..... naked.
