Two weeks ago was my 45th 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
have a present for me. 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. 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;
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; 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 to the office, do we?" "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 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.
