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 despondent.
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 a quiet bistro 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.
