Joke Tuesday.

Why I fired my Secretary.

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 at 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...
