WHY I FIRED MY SECRETARY



Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday and I wasn't feeling too good that
morning. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say, "Happy Birthday!", and probably have a present for me.

As it turned out, 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. So when I left for 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 that 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, "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; instead we
went out to a private little 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 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 huge birthday cake ----- followed by my wife, children,
and dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.



And I just sat there ....................... on the couch .................. naked.
