why the secretary got fired

 

]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 would 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" .

 

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
