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 depressed.
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 quiet restaurant 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?'
She 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.
