Why I Fired My Secretary.....

[Heelandcoo]

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.
